Wedding Mexican catering for your wedding in Shipley

It works well for gatherings the day after a wedding and relaxed wedding breakfasts, serving evening tacos, quesadillas and burrito bowls.

Weddings in Shipley: venues, ceremonies and travel
Shipley is about 6 miles south of Horsham, in West Sussex. From the centre of Shipley to the outskirts, wedding Mexican catering works the same way: fresh service from our truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. Shipley is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex where we can bring wedding Mexican catering. We cater right across the region, from Shipley to Brighton (15 miles away).
Say your vows at a church like The Church of St Mary the Virgin, then head to a garden, barn or marquee where the truck or trailer is waiting. Service can start as guests arrive. It helps to add rail details to the invitations, as the nearest station is Billingshurst station, about 4 miles north-west.
This part of West Sussex takes in RH13, and we can cater your wedding anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. Whether your wedding is on Church Close and School Lane or anywhere nearby, we can bring wedding Mexican catering there, given access. We also serve at weddings in Whitehall (1 mile south-west), Dragons Green (1 mile north), Broomer's Corner (1 mile south-west), Dial Post (2 miles south) and West Grinstead (2 miles east). Within a short drive, we also cover Crawley (12 miles north-east), Horsham (6 miles north), Worthing (11 miles south), Haywards Heath (12 miles east), Burgess Hill (11 miles east) and Littlehampton (14 miles south-west).
Not far away are Knepp Wildland.
Before you choose a spot
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
On the menu in Shipley
- Burritos and bowls
- Nachos to share
- Taco bar wedding breakfast
- Evening tacos
- Guacamole and salsas
- Margarita bar
Shipley: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Shipley?
The closest is Billingshurst station, roughly 4 miles away.
Can you cater a reception after a service at The Church of St Mary the Virgin?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
What about power on site?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
How spicy is the food?
It’s up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
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.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Can you cater the whole day?
Yes. A taco bar works well as a wedding breakfast, and tacos or nachos make good evening food.
For planners, venues and organisers
Organising a club, school or community event in Shipley? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Step by step
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, service opens at the agreed time, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. At midsummer, sunset in Shipley is about 9:20pm, so we can time the evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- First, we check availability for your date.
- You choose the fillings, sides and extras.
- We confirm access and the serving spot with your coordinator.
- Guests build their tacos at the taco bar or order at the hatch.
- After serving, we clear away.
Before we arrive
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Name one person we can ask on the day

Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
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. Read our guide to taco bars.
