- Guest numbers
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Mexican catering in Shipley Bridge, from our truck or trailer
Our food truck or trailer travels to events across Shipley Bridge and nearby: private gardens, venue grounds, courtyards and fields, as long as there is safe access. On the menu are loaded nachos, burrito bowls and quesadillas, and it suits christenings and family parties and milestone birthdays.
Somewhere like Shipley Bridge, a field or garden is often the setting. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
How it compares
A drop-off platter is easy, but nobody remembers it. Live service from a truck or trailer gives guests hot food and something to talk about. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.

Working with your venue
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.

Shipley Bridge: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Shipley Bridge for guests?
Guests can use Gatwick Airport station, about 1.2 miles north-west of Shipley Bridge.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Bartholomew: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire.
Who clears up?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Can we add a bar?
You can add our drinks bar, with bar staff serving margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. We’ll go through the licensing with you before the day.
How spicy is the food?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
What we need at the venue
If a space is not suitable, we will tell you, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
