Mexican street food for Shorne events
How our Mexican street food works in Shorne
We slow-cook fillings ahead and finish them on site, which keeps the queue moving at busy times. We serve loaded nachos, tacos and vegan tacos, and it suits food markets and crew and volunteer catering.
Rural events near Shorne can be a long way from food outlets, so a taco truck is a welcome sight. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Before you choose a spot
We will be honest if a space will not work. The main points are:

- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up

Questions from Shorne
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Shorne Woods Country Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Is Shorne close to London?
It is about 23 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you feed our volunteers?
Yes, at set times to suit your schedule. Send us numbers and times.
What happens if it rains?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Can you handle a lunchtime rush?
We plan stock and service around your expected numbers, so queues keep moving.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
What about power on site?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. 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 will tell you honestly whether it works.
