How our Mexican catering works in Shirrell Heath
Tacos are the heart of the menu: warmed tortillas, a choice of fillings, and salsas, guacamole and toppings to finish. We can add burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. It works well for charity and school events and office lunches and team days, with burritos, tacos and a build-your-own taco bar.
In a rural place like Shirrell Heath, access is the main thing to plan: 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 prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
Dietary needs and planning tips
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Check that your venue allows outside caterers and vehicles
- Put any allergies in writing for us
- Count children separately
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
If timings change on the day, tell us and we will adjust.
Quesadillas go down well with children, because they’re simple.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
