Your questions about wedding Mexican catering in Lower Shiplake
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Mill Meadows?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Do you cater in villages like Lower Shiplake?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
We can. We offer dairy-free options.
Can you cater for vegans and gluten-free guests?
Yes. There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, plus allergen information for every dish.
What about supplier meals?
Of course. Add your suppliers to the final numbers and we’ll plan for them.
Can you cater the whole day?
Yes. We can do a taco bar for the main meal and tacos or nachos for the evening.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
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 will do the serving.
