Dietary needs and planning tips
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Tell us how many evening guests to expect
- Let us know about supplier meals
- Ask whether your venue allows food trucks
- Enquire early for summer Saturdays
Allergen information is available for every dish, and dishes are labelled at the serving point.
Quesadillas suit younger guests.
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

Your questions about wedding Mexican catering in Shippon
Could you serve in Albert 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’ll send what they need from us.
Do you cater in villages like Shippon?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
Can you keep it mild?
That’s your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we will recommend how to serve.
What do you serve?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
Comparing your options
Hog roasts are popular but tricky for mixed diets. Tacos cover them with separate fillings. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Before you choose a spot
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
Popular choices
- Nachos to share
- Burritos and bowls
- Evening tacos
- Margarita bar
- Taco bar wedding breakfast
- Guacamole and salsas
How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our truck or trailer, and get on with serving. Late-September weddings in Shippon see the sun go down at about 7:10pm, so an evening taco service may start as the light fades. A late-May wedding keeps its light until roughly 9:00pm.
- We start by checking your date.
- You choose the fillings, sides and extras.
- We confirm the plan with your venue.
- Food is served from the taco bar or the hatch.
- After serving, we clear away.
How to prepare
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Tell us what power and water the site has
