How our Mexican catering works in Shenington
A build-your-own taco bar is one of the most sociable ways to feed a crowd. Guests fill their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, so nobody ends up with something they do not want. It suits fairs and festivals and anniversaries and engagements, serving burritos, quesadillas and burrito bowls.
For a rural spot like Shenington, fields and drives need a little planning: 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. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

How it works
We work to your timings. If things run behind, tell us and we’ll adjust the start of service where we can. Daylight in Shenington runs to about 9:00pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. If your event carries on later, tell us what lighting the venue has.
- It begins with the basics: your date, venue, guest numbers and dietary needs.
- We suggest a sample menu and send a quote for your event.
- Before the day, we agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day, we set up and serve from the truck or trailer, or from a taco-bar station.
- Once everyone has eaten, we tidy our serving area and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely

Planning help
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s 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.
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.
What we need at the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.

Shenington: your questions answered
We’re having a ceremony at Church of Holy Trinity: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you come out to small places like Shenington?
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.
Is the food made fresh?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
How does your Mexican catering work?
We park our truck or trailer at your venue and serve hot Mexican street food from it. A build-your-own taco bar is another option.
Who books Mexican catering in Shenington?
Mexican street food suits almost any crowd: it’s familiar, filling and easy to eat standing up or sitting down.
