Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
Who books Mexican party catering in Shippon?
It works for all ages and diets, from toddlers to grandparents.
Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Common bookings include:
- Retirement celebrations

Once the service at a church like Church of St Mary Magdalene is over, the party can move somewhere with space for the truck and a queue.

Step by step
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. At midsummer, it’s light in Shippon until about 9:25pm, 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, where the party is, numbers and dietary needs.
- We put a menu together and quote for it.
- We confirm access, parking, power and water.
- On the day, we arrive, set up and start serving at the agreed time.
- After serving, we tidy up and leave you to celebrate.

Common questions in Shippon
How far is Shippon from central London?
It’s about 53 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Which station is closest to Shippon?
The closest is Radley station, roughly 2.8 miles away.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
That’s confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll check the licensing with you.
Do you come to Shippon?
Yes, we do. Shippon is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do we need to provide plates?
Tell us what you need and we’ll include the options in your quote.
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. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Space, access and the venue
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
- A photo of the drive or garden helps us check the space
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
