Mexican catering in Great Shoddesden, from our truck or trailer
The menu starts with tacos: warm tortillas with your choice of fillings, plus fresh salsas, guacamole and toppings. Burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas can sit alongside them. On the menu are burritos, a build-your-own taco bar and loaded nachos, and it’s a good fit for school fairs and fundraisers and anniversaries and engagements.
For a rural spot like Great Shoddesden, fields and drives need a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
Planning the serving area
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
