Home-made buffets take ages and sit out for hours. Our food is cooked to order and served hot. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
Why book with us
- Menus for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests
- A plan agreed before the day
- Quoted for your event
- A truck or trailer that comes to you
Take a look at our prices page and our guide to catering costs.
What we need at the venue
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
Out-of-the-way places like Shalcombe take a little more planning, so let us know about tracks, gates and power in good time.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Tell us about any severe allergies before the party
- Give the neighbours a heads-up
- Check the width of your gate or drive
- Arrange a gazebo in case of rain
Rain doesn’t stop the hatch, but plan a gazebo or indoor space for eating.
A wider choice of salsas and toppings.
Your questions about Mexican party catering in Shalcombe
Will you travel to a small place like Shalcombe?
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.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St. Mary's Church?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Can you serve from my drive or garden?
It depends on the access and the ground. Let us know about gates, slopes and soft grass, and we will confirm.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire.
What about power on site?
Tell us what the site has, for example a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
Do you cover Shalcombe?
We do. We serve at events in Shalcombe and across the Isle of Wight. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will check the licensing with you.
Can you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.

The menu, item by item
Tacos
Soft tacos with your choice of filling, served hot from the truck or trailer.
Quesadillas
A good choice for children.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
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.
What happens on the day
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can spend time with your guests. A summer party in Shalcombe stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
