Where do you cater?

What do you need at the venue?
Tell us about the venue and the way in, and we will check it works. Space for a queue and, if you choose one, a taco-bar table helps too.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Mexican catering for your event in Shorne
Mobile Mexican catering means the kitchen comes to you: we park our food truck or trailer on site and serve hot food from it. You don’t need a kitchen at the venue. On the menu are quesadillas, fresh salsas and guacamole and loaded nachos, and it’s a good fit for summer garden parties and office lunches and team days.
For a rural spot like Shorne, 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. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.
Planners, venues and businesses
Hosting a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we will let you know if it is a good fit.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Catering an event in Shorne

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The number of people
- How many staff you need
- What’s on the menu
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.

- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both

- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field
