Corporate Mexican catering in Shalcombe, from our food truck or trailer
Hot food from a truck makes lunch something to look forward to, not just a break from it. At charity and fundraising days and staff appreciation days, we can serve quesadillas, burrito bowls and a build-your-own taco bar and more.
At country venues around Shalcombe, a truck or trailer brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access, ground and power. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

What corporate Mexican catering costs
We quote for your event, which reflects:
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Whether you need disposables
- How many staff you need
- The menu you choose
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- What power and water the site has
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, tell us about it on our contact page.
Shalcombe questions
Do you cater in villages like Shalcombe?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Could you come to a seaside event near Shalcombe?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Seafront and beach spots usually need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Who clears up?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you cook on site?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Do you work in winter?
Mexican street food works in winter too. Book early for December and tell us about the venue.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we’ll check the licensing with you and your venue.
Can you add drinks to a staff party?
Our drinks bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. Alcohol needs the right licence, such as the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
What we need at the venue
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
- Sign-off from facilities for a catering vehicle
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
Out-of-the-way places like Shalcombe take a little more planning, so let us know about tracks, gates and power in good time.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
