Why choose Mexican catering in Shatterling?
Compared with a hog roast or barbecue, Mexican street food is easier for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, thanks to separate fillings and toppings. Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why book with us
- A plan agreed before the day
- Fast service, even with a queue
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- A menu built around your guests

Mexican catering for your event in Shatterling
Food from a truck or trailer feels relaxed. Guests come up to the hatch, chat while they wait and take something hot back to their seats. It works well for weddings, day or evening and milestone birthdays, serving a build-your-own taco bar, fresh salsas and guacamole and tacos.
In a rural place like Shatterling, access is the main thing to plan: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements with you. You’ll know what’s included before booking: menu, timings and any add-ons.
Should I do it myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Your questions about Mexican catering in Shatterling
Will you travel to a small place like Shatterling?
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.
We’re having a ceremony at St Mary's Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we will keep their options separate.
What food do you serve?
Tacos and taco bars, plus burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. Our sample menu has more detail.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
How does your Mexican catering work?
We arrive with our own mobile kitchen. We set up, serve your guests and clear away when service ends.
How long are you on site?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
What affects the price in Shatterling

- The length of service
- Serving staff
- Parking and the route in

What to tell us

- How we drive in and where we can park
- The date and time of the event
- The address or venue name
- A picture of where we’d park
