Planners, venues and businesses
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.
Mexican catering for your event in Shellingford
Our truck and trailer service tends to suit around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case, so let us know how many you expect. Popular choices include burritos, loaded nachos and quesadillas, and it suits festivals, fairs and markets and office lunches and team days.
Somewhere as small as Shellingford, a garden or field is often the venue. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.

Planning for every diet
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
We can still serve from the hatch if it rains, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
Quesadillas are a good choice for children and cautious eaters, because they’re simple.

Shellingford: your questions answered
How far is Shellingford from central London?
It’s about 63 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Faith?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
That depends on the event. As a guide, it is around 50 to 400 guests; tell us your numbers and we’ll plan around them.
Who clears up?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will talk it through.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
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.
How long do you serve for?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
Is Mexican catering right for your event?
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a larger team. Our truck or trailer brings its own kitchen, and needs a suitable spot, safe access and the venue’s agreement. Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so share your ideas with us. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

Planning the serving area
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- Room for a serving table for the taco bar
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- A route in that is wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
Popular choices
- Tacos
- Loaded nachos
- Quesadillas
- Burritos
- Build-your-own taco bar
- Burrito bowls
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
How the day works
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can spend time with your guests. Winter evenings in Shellingford close in by about 4:00pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:30pm.
- Start by telling us about your event.

- We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- We arrive, set up and serve from the hatch.
