Mexican catering near Shanklin Village
Planning a food truck in Shanklin Village
Shanklin Village is about 1 mile south of Sutton, in Greater London. For Mexican catering in Shanklin Village, we can park up at venues, fields, drives and courtyards. We cover 764 places across Greater London, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. You can also see our page for London, about 11 miles away.
For a fête or sports day at a school such as Harris Academy Sutton, hot food from a truck or trailer saves the volunteers from cooking. When the service is at a church such as Church of St John, the food generally happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck.
We serve at events all over SM2 and SM5. Your event could be at a home on York Road, Downs Road and Burdon Lane. We also serve at events in Sutton (1 mile north), Banstead (2 miles south), Little Woodcote (2 miles east), Benhilton (2 miles north) and Carshalton (2 miles north-east). Within a short drive, we also cover London (11 miles north-east), City of Westminster (12 miles north), Marylebone (12 miles north), Kensington (11 miles north), St Pancras (13 miles north) and Shoreditch (13 miles north-east).

About our Mexican catering in Shanklin Village
Keep it simple or go further: tacos on their own, or tacos with burritos, nachos and quesadillas. Our Mexican drinks bar can be added too, with licensing checked with you. At christenings and family parties and fundraisers and school events, we’ll put together a menu of fresh salsas and guacamole, loaded nachos and a build-your-own taco bar for your guests.
In Shanklin Village, a courtyard, a venue forecourt or a garden with drive access can work well. If the garden is only reached through the house, a spot on the drive or the street may work, with permission. Tell us about the route in. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

Planning the serving area
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
In Shanklin Village, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How we price Mexican catering
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Serving staff
- The number of people
- The menu you choose
- Food, drinks or both
Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
Details that help
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Expected numbers
- What you’d like on the menu
- Where the event is
- A picture of where we’d park
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: venue, timings, menu ideas and access. To send your details, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Is Mexican catering right for your event?
Compared with a hog roast or barbecue, tacos make vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to cater for, because fillings and toppings are kept separate. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- Allergen information for every dish
- A quote that sets out what’s included
- Menus chosen with you
- A plan agreed before the day

How the day works
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A photo of the space helps. In Shanklin Village, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- First, send us a few details about your event.
- You get a sample menu and a quote.
- We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- We arrive, set up and serve from the hatch.
- We pack down after service and leave the area tidy.
How to prepare
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
Getting a price
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
Planning help
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Planning for every diet
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Put any allergies in writing for us
We can still serve from the hatch if it rains, though guests need somewhere under cover to eat.
Tell us if you need plates, cutlery or serving staff and we will confirm what’s possible with your quote.
