How our Mexican party catering works in Shillingford
You get to be a guest at your own party: no shopping, no cooking and no washing up of pans. We take care of the food. At christenings and naming days and graduation and exam-results parties, we’ll put together a menu of a build-your-own taco bar, burritos and guacamole and salsas for your guests.
In a small place like Shillingford, 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 around it. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
What’s on the menu
Salsas and guacamole
Salsas go on the side, so guests choose the heat.
Build-your-own taco bar
A taco bar keeps a party sociable.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
- Make sure there’s a vegan option
- Plan where rubbish goes
If it rains, we can still serve from the truck or trailer, but plan a gazebo or indoor space for eating.
Simple quesadillas for children.
Before you choose a spot
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- Send a photo of the spot so we can check
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- Permission from the venue or landowner
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.

How the day works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and serve without fuss. A summer party in Shillingford stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.

- We put a menu together and quote for it.
- Before the day, we check the space, the way in, power and water.
- On the day we set up and serve hot food at the time you choose.
