Organisers of a summer fête for a church such as St Thomas' Church could add tacos and burritos alongside the bric-a-brac. Hot food from a truck or trailer could give a school fair, for a school such as Shefford C.E. Primary School, a busy corner. Organisers near the North Wessex Downs National Landscape, within about 5 miles of East Shefford, may face extra conditions on traffic, ground protection and waste. We work to whatever the site sets.
We cater events across the RG17 and RG20 postcode area. We also serve at events in Great Shefford (1 mile north-west), Weston (1 mile south-east), Wickham (2 miles south), Shefford Woodlands (2 miles south-west) and East Garston (2 miles north-west).

DIY taco night or a caterer?
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.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.

FAQs for East Shefford
Can you trade at a school fair in East Shefford?
We can, as long as the school agrees and the truck or trailer can reach the pitch. Tell us the date, the site and roughly how many visitors you expect.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
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.
How is the food prepared?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
How many guests can you serve?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
Can you cater for crew and volunteers?
We can. Crew, volunteer and hospitality catering is available, with or without a public stall.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will talk licensing through with you.
Organising for someone else?
Hosting a party at home? Send us a picture of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.
How it compares
For crew catering, sandwiches are easy but uninspiring. A hot meal keeps crew happy. Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you can choose what you need.
