Common questions in Shilton
How far is Shilton from London?
It is about 68 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Will you travel to a small place like Shilton?
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.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
How does mobile Mexican catering work?
Our food truck or trailer is a mobile kitchen. We set up, serve your guests and clear away when service ends.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
How is the food prepared?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Can I do a taco night myself?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
How we price Mexican catering
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Serving staff
- Travel, parking and access
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- The date and rough timings
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Your menu ideas
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Popular choices
Tacos
Tacos are the classic street food of Mexico. We serve them with salsas and toppings, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.
Burritos and burrito bowls
Rice, beans, a filling and toppings rolled in a large tortilla, or the same served in a bowl.
How it works
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your event. A December event in Shilton will be in the dark from about 4:00pm, so choose a spot where guests can see what they’re ordering. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:30pm.

What else we do in Shilton
Is Mexican catering right for your event?
Sit-down meals need a kitchen, tables and more staff. Our truck or trailer brings its own kitchen, so we need a suitable spot, access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
