Questions from Caversham Heights
Which station should guests use for Caversham Heights?
Reading station, about 1.4 miles south-east of the centre.
Is it possible to have you in Round Copse?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Can we book you as a trader?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information, and we’ll let you know if we are available.
Can you keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Can you do dairy-free food?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire, including Caversham Heights.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.

Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
- Room for the truck or trailer and customers
- A level pitch on firm ground
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
