Mexican catering in Shorthampton
About our Mexican catering in Shorthampton
Mexican street food makes mixed diets simple. We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, and allergen information is available for every dish. For weddings and evening receptions and charity and school events, we will put together a menu of fresh salsas and guacamole, burritos and burrito bowls and more.
Somewhere as small as Shorthampton, a garden or field is often the venue. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Prices and what affects them
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- How many staff you need
- Whether you need disposables
- The length of service
- Travel, parking and access
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.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- What power and water the site has
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- The venue or postcode
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
The process
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you are ready, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. From late May to late September, sunset in Shorthampton moves from about 9:00pm to 7:10pm. If your event carries on later, tell us what lighting the venue has.
- You tell us the date, the venue, rough guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- We suggest a sample menu and send a quote for your event.
- We check access, power and water with you or the venue.
- On the day we arrive, set up and serve hot food from our food truck or trailer.
- After service, we clear away and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

Planning help
How it compares
With a barbecue, someone typically ends up stuck at the grill. Book us and the cooking happens in our food truck or trailer. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.

Catering for every guest
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Tell us how many children are coming
If you’ve chosen a taco bar, the fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests build their own while we keep it topped up.
A tray of loaded nachos works well to start or as a late snack.
