How our Mexican catering works in Shawford
Need taco catering in Shawford? Our truck and trailer service tends to suit around 50 to 400 guests. Larger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case, so tell us your numbers. Popular choices include fresh salsas and guacamole, burritos and a build-your-own taco bar, and it suits birthday parties and leaving parties.
For a rural spot like Shawford, fields and drives need a little planning: the gate, the ground and the route from the lane. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements with you. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
How it compares
Next to a hog roast or a barbecue, tacos make vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to cater for, thanks to separate fillings and toppings. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.
Why us?
- We cover Shawford and the whole of Hampshire
- Everything served fresh from the hatch
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests
- A menu agreed with you
What Mexican catering costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Whether you need disposables
- Guest numbers

A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Check that your venue allows outside caterers and vehicles

- Count children separately
We arrive early enough to set up calmly. All we need is someone to show us the agreed spot.
Quesadillas are a good choice for children and cautious eaters.
