Common questions in Mansbridge
Could you come to a seaside event near Mansbridge?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades typically need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
How far is Mansbridge from central London?
It is about 67 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Is the food very hot?
That’s your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we will keep their options separate.
What about power on site?
Let us know what’s available on site, for example a supply from the venue, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar.

It depends on the event and how long service runs. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests.

Hiring our taco truck near Mansbridge

We serve in 40 places in Southampton, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.
Close to Mansbridge are historic houses such as South Stoneham House (0.5 miles west) and Southampton Tudor House and Garden (3.2 miles south-west).

The menu, item by item

Burritos
Rice, beans, a filling and salsa wrapped in a big tortilla.
Organising for someone else?
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
How it compares
Most guests have seen a burger van. Tacos and burritos from a truck feel different. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Why book with us
- Options for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests
- A menu built around your guests
- A quote that sets out what’s included
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both

Should I do it myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
