About our Mexican catering in Shipton Green
Mixed diets are easy to plan with Mexican street food. There are vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, and allergen information is available for every dish. Popular choices include fresh salsas and guacamole, quesadillas and loaded nachos, and it suits leaving parties and staff parties and office lunches.
For a rural spot like Shipton Green, 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. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Shipton Green: venues, access and local tips
Shipton Green is about 5 miles south-west of Chichester, in West Sussex. Tell us where your event in Shipton Green will be, and we will plan access and set-up before the day. Shipton Green is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex we cover. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 25 miles away.
If people are travelling in by rail, Bosham station is about 3.6 miles away. When the service is at a church such as St Nicholas' Church, the food generally happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck. With the sea within about 6 miles, a beach-side event might appeal. Promenades and beaches usually need permission, and the truck or trailer has to park on firm ground, not sand.
We cater events across PO20. We can cater an event on streets such as Shipton Green Lane and Itchenor Road. Nearby, we also cater events in Somerley (1 mile south-east), Birdham (1 mile east), Almodington (2 miles south-east), Earnley (2 miles south) and East Wittering (2 miles south). We also cater in nearby towns such as Bognor Regis (7 miles east), Chichester (5 miles north-east), Selsey (5 miles south-east), Littlehampton (14 miles east), Emsworth (5 miles north-west) and Rustington (15 miles east).
Other landmarks nearby include Chichester Castle (4.9 miles north-east) and St Richard's Hospital (5.2 miles north-east). Not far away are Pilsey Island.

We quote for your event, which reflects:
- How many guests we are serving

Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.

A closer look at the menu
Salsas and guacamole
Every taco needs salsa and guacamole.
Loaded nachos
Tortilla chips piled with cheese, a filling, salsa, guacamole and toppings.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Planning for every diet
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Make sure the menu has a vegan option
If timings change on the day, tell us and we’ll adjust.
A tray of loaded nachos works well to start or as a late snack.

Common questions in Shipton Green
Do you cater in villages like Shipton Green?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Nicholas' Church?
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 will check the access.
How much does Mexican catering cost in Shipton Green?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
Do you need power and water?
Tell us what the site has, for example a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
What food do you serve?
We agree the menu with each client, with fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or black beans. Take a look at the sample menu.
How big an event can you cater?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
How the day works
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A photo of the space helps. Around midsummer it stays light in Shipton Green until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
