Mexican catering near Shootash
Mexican catering for your event in Shootash
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case, so tell us your numbers. Popular choices include burrito bowls, tacos and a build-your-own taco bar, and it’s a good fit for engagement celebrations and birthday parties.
In a rural place like Shootash, 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 plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.
Shootash questions
Do you come out to small places like Shootash?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you do a drinks bar?
Our drinks bar can be added to any booking, with bar staff serving margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. We’ll go through the licensing with you before the day.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire.
What about power on site?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
When do you arrive?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
How much is a food truck for an event?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.
Dietary needs and planning tips
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
Allergen information is on hand for every dish.
Add our Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you.
Space, access and the venue
If a space is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- Room for a serving table for the taco bar
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Mexican catering or something else?
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. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
