DIY taco night or a caterer?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
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.
Wedding Mexican catering in Checkendon, from our food truck or trailer
Our drinks bar can serve margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with alcohol-free choices for drivers and children. Licensing is checked with you and the venue first. On the menu are fresh guacamole and salsas, burrito bowls and loaded nachos, and it suits engagement celebrations and weddings in a marquee or garden.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Checkendon, and tacos served from a truck in a field add to it. Plan for access, soft ground and wet-weather cover for guests.

How the day works
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a photo of the space if you’re unsure. For a summer wedding in Checkendon, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so evening tacos are typically served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting around the truck or trailer.
- Send us your wedding date, venue and numbers.
- Together we plan the food for your day.
- Timings are agreed with your venue.
- On the day, we set up and serve on cue.
- We pack down and leave our area tidy.
Before we arrive
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve

Weddings in Checkendon: venues, ceremonies and travel
Checkendon is about 6 miles north-west of Caversham, in Oxfordshire. Give us the address of your wedding in Checkendon, and we will plan access and set-up before the day. We cater in 443 places across Oxfordshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Reading, about 7 miles away.
Couples who choose a church such as St Peter and St Paul for the ceremony often pick a reception spot a short drive away. Service can start as guests arrive. It helps to add rail details to the invitations, as Goring & Streatley station is about 4.4 miles away. A rural reception could be within reach, as the Chilterns National Landscape is no more than about 7 miles from Checkendon. Firm ground and a clear way in matter more than the view for a food truck.

Do you cater in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Peter and St Paul?

Can you cater for vegans and gluten-free guests?
We plan carefully and keep options separate. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the wedding.
Will you talk to our venue?
Yes. We will speak to your venue about access and timings.
Can a taco bar feel special?
It can be as relaxed or as polished as you like, depending on how it is served.

Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.
