Mexican catering near Abshot
How our Mexican catering works in Abshot
Tacos are the heart of the menu: warm tortillas with your choice of fillings, plus fresh salsas, guacamole and toppings. We can add burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. Popular choices include a build-your-own taco bar, burrito bowls and loaded nachos, and it’s a good fit for retirement and leaving parties and charity and school events.
Somewhere as small as Abshot, a garden or field is often the venue. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we will plan for them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
A closer look at the menu
Quesadillas
A quesadilla is an easy favourite.
Build-your-own taco bar
Fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings laid out for guests to help themselves, with warm tortillas to fill. Each guest makes tacos their way.
How the day works
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. Evenings in Abshot stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm. Festoon lights or floodlights help once it gets dark.

- We suggest fillings and extras and send a quote.

Is Mexican catering right for your event?
A barbecue often means a host tied to the grill. With us, the cooking happens in our truck or trailer. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
What you get with us
- We cover Abshot and the whole of Hampshire
- A quote that sets out what’s included

Take a look at our prices page and our guide to catering costs.
Working with your venue
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Planning the serving area
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Diets, allergies and planning
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Put any allergies in writing for us
- Ensure the menu has a vegan option
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
Guests order at the hatch and we serve them there and then, so it is hot when it reaches them.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can be added from our drinks bar, with licensing checked with you.

Abshot: your questions answered
Is Abshot close to London?
It’s about 68 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you serve near the sea around Abshot?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Seafront and beach spots usually need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Do you serve in the rain?
We serve from the truck or trailer whatever the weather, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Hampshire included. Find your area.
How is the food prepared?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a photo and we’ll talk it through.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Can you serve drinks as well?
We can. Our Mexican drinks bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. We’ll talk licensing through with you.
