Mexican party catering in Shirley, served fresh
Mexican street food is made for relaxed parties: easy to eat while you mingle and there’s no need for a seating plan. We serve loaded nachos, tacos and guacamole and salsas, and it suits housewarming parties and big birthdays.
In Shirley, a back-garden party is the usual choice, but access can be tight. We can look at parking on a drive or out front, with permission. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and parking needs planning too. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

FAQs for Shirley
Which station should guests use for Shirley?
Guests can use Elmers End station, about 1.2 miles north of Shirley.
What about parking in Shirley?
That depends on the street. A drive, a courtyard or a bay suspended by the council can all work, so tell us what’s outside your venue. The ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll recommend how to serve.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, including Shirley.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
How big an event can you cater?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
What we need at the venue
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
London streets around Shirley can be narrow and busy, and all of Greater London sits inside the ULEZ. Tell us about loading, permits and any parking suspension when you enquire.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.

What else we do in Shirley
Should I do it myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
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.
What happens on the day
When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. December parties in Shirley are dark from about 3:55pm, so think about how guests will see their way to the truck. In late June, it stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Send us your date, where the party is, numbers and dietary needs.
- You get a sample menu and a quote for your party.
- We confirm access, parking, power and water.
- On the day we set up and serve hot food at the time you choose.
