How our Mexican catering works in Shortfield Common
Our truck and trailer service tends to suit 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 tacos, loaded nachos and burrito bowls, which works well for birthday parties and wedding breakfasts and evening food.
Somewhere like Shortfield Common, a field or garden is often the setting. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, with allergen information for everything we serve.
Is Mexican catering right for your event?
Cold buffets are easy, but the food sits out. Our food is served hot, one order at a time. There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican catering. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.

About the menu
Build-your-own taco bar
Fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings laid out for guests to help themselves, with tortillas kept warm. Each guest makes tacos their way.
Loaded nachos
Loaded nachos are perfect for sharing, whether as a starter or a late bite. Dairy-free versions can be planned.
Who books Mexican catering in Shortfield Common?
You don’t need a kitchen, so it works in gardens, fields and grounds without catering facilities.
Here are some of the events we cater:
- Company summer parties
- Big birthday celebrations
- Engagement and anniversary parties
- Weddings, day or evening
For a fête or sports day at a school such as Edgeborough School, hot food from a truck or trailer saves the volunteers from cooking.

Your questions about Mexican catering in Shortfield Common
How far is Shortfield Common from London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin?
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 far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
How much does Mexican catering cost?
We don’t publish set prices, because every event is different. Send your details and you’ll get a quote for your event.
What does Mexican catering cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you do a drinks bar?
Yes. The drinks bar offers margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free drinks. Licensing is checked with you first.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
That’s confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we’ll talk it through.
Catering for every guest
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Make sure the menu has a vegan option
We have allergen information for every dish at the hatch.
Extra salsas and toppings can widen the choice.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
The process
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. Around midsummer it stays light in Shortfield Common until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 4:00pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- Start by telling us about your event.
- We suggest fillings and extras and send a quote.
- We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day we park up, set up and serve hot food to order.
- We pack down after service and leave the area tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
