DIY taco night versus a caterer
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
About our Mexican catering in Shover's Green
Taco catering in Shover's Green is what we do best. Few things get guests chatting like a build-your-own taco bar. Guests fill their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, so nobody ends up with something they do not want. Popular choices include loaded nachos, fresh salsas and guacamole and quesadillas, and it suits family celebrations and birthday parties.
Somewhere as small as Shover's Green, a garden or field is often the venue. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we’ll plan for them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

A closer look at the menu
Tacos
Street tacos are small, quick and full of flavour. They come with fresh salsas and toppings, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.
Burritos and burrito bowls
A burrito is a meal in one. Bowls suit guests who want to skip the tortilla.
Planning for every diet
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Tell us what other food is being served
- Check that your venue allows outside caterers and vehicles
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
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.
Shover's Green: your questions answered
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Shover's Green Baptist Chapel?
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.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
What space do you need?
Tell us about the venue and the way in, and we’ll confirm what we need. Space for a queue and, if you choose one, a taco-bar table helps too.
What happens if it rains?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
How long do you serve for?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
Can you plan for allergies?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give 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.
