Space, access and the venue
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Space in front of the hatch for guests to queue
- Distance from houses and windows
- Gate widths, overhead branches and soft ground checked in advance
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
How our food truck hire works in Highfield
Fillings might include carnitas, al pastor-style pork or chicken tinga, with vegan choices like black bean and sweet potato. There are options for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests. We serve quesadillas, burritos and tacos from the hatch, and it suits wedding receptions and parties in venue grounds.
For a private or work event near Highfield, our truck or trailer brings its own kitchen; we just need level ground, access and the venue’s permission. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Should I do it myself?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.

Questions from Highfield
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Southampton Common?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Can you serve near the sea around Highfield?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
Do you need power and water?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
Do you offer a bar with the truck?
You can add our drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Licensing is checked with you.
Is the food made fresh?
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.
Do you come to Highfield?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Highfield is within our area and the rest of Southampton. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
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.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Send allergy details in writing
Allergen information is available at the hatch for every dish, so guests can ask before ordering.
Ask about a second service later in the evening.
How the day works
Here’s how the day generally runs: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you are ready, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. A Christmas party in Highfield with a hired food truck will be in the dark from about 4:00pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we’ll park. In late June, it stays light until about 9:25pm.
- Share your plans for the event.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- Once service ends, we tidy up and go.
How to prepare
