Mexican catering in Shoreham
Perfect for your event in Shoreham
You don’t need a kitchen, so it works in gardens, fields and grounds without catering facilities.
We can help if you’re planning any of the following:
- Birthday parties
- Markets and community events
- Anniversaries and engagements
- Weddings, day or evening
Parents planning a fundraiser at a school like Shoreham Village School might find a Mexican street-food truck draws families in.

Mexican catering for your event in Shoreham
Our truck and trailer service tends to suit around 50 to 400 guests. Larger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case, so let us know how many you expect. At garden get-togethers and birthday parties, we’ll put together a menu of loaded nachos, fresh salsas and guacamole and quesadillas.
For a rural spot like Shoreham, fields and drives need a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Planning the serving area
Every venue is different, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
Prices and what affects them
We will give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Guest numbers
- The length of service
- Serving staff
- Parking and the route in
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- The address or venue name
- What you’d like on the menu
- What power and water the site has
- How we drive in and where we can park
To get a price, just drop us a line using the enquiry form. Tell us about your event in Shoreham, and we’ll put together a menu and price.
How it works
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. A December event in Shoreham will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Start by telling us about your event.
- We suggest fillings and extras and send a quote.
- Access, the serving spot, power and water are agreed in advance.
- We arrive, set up and serve from the hatch.
- Once service ends, we clear away.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
How to get a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. To get started, tell us about it on our contact page.

For planners, venues and organisers
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Hosting a party at home? Send us a picture of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we will tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Count children separately
- Make sure the menu has a vegan option
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
Allergen information is on hand for every dish, and guests are welcome to ask before ordering.
Add our Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you.
Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.

Shoreham is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Shoreham to London (about 16 miles away).
Guests arriving by train will find that Shoreham (Kent) station is in Shoreham itself. Close to Shoreham are historic houses such as Lullingstone Castle (1.8 miles north-east) and Knole House (4.8 miles south). Estates and historic houses tend to set their own rules for caterers, so find out what yours allows first. Venues in and around the Kent Downs National Landscape, within about a mile of Shoreham, sometimes limit where vehicles can go. Ask yours about access for a truck or trailer before you book.
This part of Kent takes in TN14, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. Local streets include High Street, Boakes Meadow and Church Street; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park.

Questions from Shoreham
Do you come out to small places like Shoreham?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Peter and St Paul: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
How does mobile Mexican catering work?
We park our food truck or trailer at your venue and serve hot Mexican street food from it. A build-your-own taco bar is another option.
Can guests build their own tacos?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Why choose Mexican catering in Shoreham?
Cold buffets are easy, but the food sits out. Tacos and burritos are made to order and served hot. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we will set out what’s included.
