Mexican street food for your event in West Reading
Organisers can book us as a public stall or to feed crew, volunteers and hospitality areas. It works well for festivals and food markets, with tacos, loaded nachos and vegan tacos.
For events in a place like West Reading, one hot-food trader that suits most diets makes life easy. A Mexican street-food truck can do that. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
Comparing your options
Hot-cabinet food lacks appeal. Our food is made to order. Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What you get with us
- A clear quote

FAQs for West Reading
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Round Copse?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Which station is closest to West Reading?
Guests can use Reading West station, which is right in West Reading.
Do you run a bar at festivals?
Our drinks bar can be added where the event’s licensing allows. We’ll check the licensing with you.
Can you cater in a back garden?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.

Yes, we do. West Reading is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.

Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
How long are you on site?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
What we need at the venue
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
- A level pitch on firm ground
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
Catering for every guest
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:

- Give traders a single information pack
- Book crew catering in advance
We serve from the hatch throughout trading hours.
