FAQs for Shaw
Is Shaw close to London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Could you serve in Victoria Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Do you need electricity?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we’ll park.
What access do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
How is the food prepared?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we’ll keep their options separate.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
About our Mexican catering in Shaw
We plan each menu with the client, so fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, alongside vegan choices such as black beans or spiced mushrooms. For leaving dos and retirement parties and family gatherings and christenings, we’ll put together a menu of fresh salsas and guacamole, burritos and a build-your-own taco bar.
In and around Shaw, gardens and local halls are common choices. If the road in is narrow or the ground is soft, tell us so we can plan for the truck or trailer. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.

How it compares
For food that feels relaxed but generous, tacos, burritos and nachos make a strong choice for your event in Shaw. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.

Planning the serving area
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A route in that is wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
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.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.

What else we do in Shaw
Step by step
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. In Shaw, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
