Mexican catering for your event in Great Shefford
Mobile Mexican catering means the kitchen comes to you: our truck or trailer parks at your venue and we serve hot food straight from the hatch. No kitchen is needed on site. For weddings, day or evening and fundraisers and school events, we’ll put together a menu of burrito bowls, tacos and quesadillas and more.
Somewhere like Great Shefford, a field or garden is often the setting. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

What Mexican catering costs

Taco catering in Great Shefford: local tips
Great Shefford is about 8 miles north-west of Newbury, in West Berkshire. From the centre of Great Shefford to the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. Great Shefford is one of 155 towns and villages in West Berkshire where we can bring Mexican catering. We cater right across the region, from Great Shefford to Reading (20 miles away).
If you’re celebrating after a service at a church like Church of St Mary, a truck or trailer parked at a hall or garden close by can serve the meal. Venues in and around the North Wessex Downs National Landscape, within about 5 miles of Great Shefford, sometimes limit where vehicles can go. Ask yours about access for a truck or trailer before booking.
We cater events across the RG17 postcode area and the streets around it. Your event could be at a home on Station Road, The Mead and Miller's Field. Other places close to Great Shefford for Mexican catering include East Shefford (1 mile south-east), Weston (1 mile south-east), East Garston (2 miles north-west), Shefford Woodlands (2 miles south-west) and East Garston Woodlands (2 miles west). Within a short drive, we also cover Newbury (8 miles south-east), Thatcham (10 miles south-east), Speenhamland (7 miles south-east), Hungerford (5 miles south-west), Lambourn (4 miles north-west) and Shaw (7 miles south-east).

Planning for every diet
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Send allergy details to us in writing
Food is served from the hatch, order by order, so it’s hot when it reaches them.
Quesadillas go down well with children, because they’re simple.
Questions from Great Shefford
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you cater in villages like Great Shefford?
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.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will include them in the plan.
How spicy is the food?
It is up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
What are your prices?
We do not publish set prices, because every event is different. Send your details and you’ll get a quote for your event.
Do you have vegan options?
Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms, served alongside the meat options.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t normally stop service from the truck or trailer. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Are plates and napkins included?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Step by step
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. A December event in Great Shefford will be in the dark from about 4:00pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:25pm.
- First, send us a few details about your event.
- We suggest fillings and extras and send a quote.
- Access, the serving spot, power and water are agreed in advance.
- We arrive, set up and serve from the hatch.
- We pack down after service and leave the area tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Ask the venue about power and water

When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we will set out what’s included.
