About our Mexican catering in Shipton Bellinger
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Larger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case, so tell us your numbers. We serve loaded nachos, burritos and burrito bowls, which works well for garden get-togethers and engagement celebrations.
In a hamlet or village like Shipton Bellinger, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.
What’s on the menu
Salsas and guacamole
Guacamole and salsas, freshly made.
Quesadillas
Toasted tortillas with melted cheese inside.
Where the truck can go in Shipton Bellinger

Should I do it myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
How it works
When we arrive, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, so everything runs to your schedule. Evenings in Shipton Bellinger stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm. For anything running past sunset, think about lights near the hatch.

Comparing your options
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. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.
