For a place the size of Woolston, food truck hire at your own home is often simplest: no venue hire, and guests order at the hatch. Let us know about the route to the house. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.

Questions from Woolston
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mark?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you cater in the New Forest National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Do you offer a bar with the truck?
Our Mexican drinks bar can be added to a truck booking, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. Licensing is checked with you.
Is the food made fresh?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you cater in Woolston?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Woolston is within our area and the rest of Southampton. For a quote, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
How many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
Do you do parties at home?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?

Planning for every diet
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Walk the access route and note narrow gaps
- Ask guests about dietary needs when they reply
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
We can serve through rain, but guests will want a covered area to eat.
Simple quesadillas suit younger guests, if you’d like a kids’ choice.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
