Mexican party catering in Shenington, from our truck or trailer
Tacos are relaxed party food: easy to eat with one hand, so guests can keep chatting and there is no need for a seating plan. Popular choices include burritos, loaded nachos and tacos, and it is a good fit for housewarmings and street and neighbourhood parties.
In a small place like Shenington, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground, and we’ll plan the set-up. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

How it works
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. At midsummer, it is light in Shenington until about 9:30pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- Send us your date, address and numbers.
- You get a menu and a quote.
- We check access and arrive before your guests.
- Food is served from the hatch or the taco bar.
- We pack down after service.
Before we arrive

Questions from Shenington
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of Holy Trinity?
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.
Do you cater in villages like Shenington?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
Is Mexican food OK for kids?
Most children enjoy it, particularly quesadillas. Tell us how many children and their ages.
Can you cater a party at a village hall?
Yes, if there is space outside for the truck or trailer and the venue agrees. Ask the venue about food trucks.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
What does Mexican party catering cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
What access do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Diets, allergies and planning
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Plan somewhere for guests to sit and eat
- Check the width of your gate or drive
- Have cover ready for a shower
- Put out bins for general waste and recycling
We arrive before your guests to set up.
Ask us about plates, cutlery and serving staff, and we’ll confirm what’s possible with your quote.
Popular choices
Salsas and guacamole
Fresh salsas and guacamole, made fresh for your party.
Quesadillas
Toasted tortillas with melted cheese inside.
Where the truck can go in Shenington
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- Space for guests to queue
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Comparing your options
A hog roast is great for meat lovers, but harder for vegetarians and vegans. Tacos cover everyone with separate fillings. Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.
