Mexican party catering in Shiplake, from our truck or trailer
Mexican party catering means no cooking for you and no formal dinner either. Our truck or trailer parks up and we serve hot food as the party goes on. Popular choices include quesadillas, guacamole and salsas and loaded nachos, and it suits anniversary celebrations and big birthdays.
Country parties near Shiplake suit a food truck or trailer: served fresh from the hatch in a garden or field. Plan a gazebo for guests in case of rain. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Common questions in Shiplake
Do you cater in villages like Shiplake?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Could you serve in Loddon Nature Reserve?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
What about power on site?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we will park.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Can you cater for special diets?
Yes. We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. See all areas.
Do you give allergen information?
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.

- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Catering for every guest
We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests. To get it right:

- Check the width of your gate or drive
- Plan somewhere for guests to sit and eat
We keep our serving area tidy and safe.
Loaded nachos to share as a starter.
DIY taco night versus 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.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
