Common questions in Arborfield Garrison
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Shepperlands Farm Nature Reserve?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Is Arborfield Garrison close to London?
About 36 miles from central London, and we cover it.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we’ll keep their options separate.
Is the food made fresh?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll check the licensing with you.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Reading included. See all areas.
How big an event can you cater?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
Taco bar hire in Arborfield Garrison, from our food truck or trailer
Our staff set up the taco bar and look after it through service: warming tortillas, keeping fillings hot and refilling the salsas as they go. Your hosts can stay with their guests. On the menu are guacamole, a build-your-own taco bar and fresh salsas, and it is a good fit for team socials and barn and marquee parties.
In a smaller place like Arborfield Garrison, a taco bar in your garden or a local hall keeps things simple. We set up and run the station, and guests choose their own fillings and toppings. Let us know about the drive and parking. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Comparing your options
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen, waiting staff and fixed courses. A taco bar needs a serving spot, somewhere close to unload and the venue’s agreement, and power and water are confirmed with each booking. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
