Mexican street food in Shawford, from our food truck or trailer
A Mexican food truck pulls a crowd at any outdoor event. The smell of warm tortillas and slow-cooked fillings brings people over, and orders come out fast from the hatch. We serve loaded nachos, tacos and vegan tacos, which works well for county and country shows and sports clubs and race days.
At a fête or field event near Shawford, a truck or trailer brings hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground, the gate and access. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Common questions in Shawford
Which station is closest to Shawford?
Guests can use Shawford station, which is right in Shawford.
Do you cater in villages like Shawford?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Do you need power and water?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we’ll park.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a picture and we’ll talk it through.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Will you have a stall at our event?
Tell us about the event, dates and pitch, and we will check availability.
Will there be long queues?
We plan stock and service around your expected numbers.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. 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 affects the price in Shawford
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How many guests we are serving
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Whether you need disposables
- Staff for serving and the bar
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- What you’d like on the menu
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- What power and water the site has
- The address or venue name
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. Contact us for a quote: just fill in our quote form.
