Mexican catering for Aldershot events
Taco catering in Aldershot: local tips
Aldershot is about 8 miles west of Guildford, in Hampshire. For an event in Aldershot, we can park up at venues, fields, drives and courtyards in and around Aldershot. We serve in all 683 towns and villages across Hampshire, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Aldershot to Guildford (8 miles away).
Guests arriving by train will find that Aldershot has its own station, Aldershot station. If you are organising a summer fair for a school like Talavera Junior School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser.

Mexican catering in Aldershot, served fresh
Serving from a truck or trailer keeps the mood easy-going. People wander up, order at the hatch and head off with hot food. Popular choices include quesadillas, a build-your-own taco bar and burrito bowls, and it’s a good fit for office lunches and team days and birthday parties.
In Aldershot, gardens come in all sizes, and the key question is whether the truck or trailer can reach them. If it cannot get to the garden, a drive or a car park nearby may work. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer.
Planners, venues and businesses
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.

Planning the serving area
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Space for guests to queue
- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
Popular choices
- Quesadillas
- Tacos
- Loaded nachos
- Build-your-own taco bar
- Burritos
- Burrito bowls
Planning for every diet
Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included. To get it right:
- Tell us what other food is being served
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Put any allergies in writing for us
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
On the day, we arrive in good time to park up and get ready. All we need is someone to show us the agreed spot.
Ask us about plates, cutlery and serving staff and we’ll set out what we can do in your quote.

What’s on the menu
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.
Loaded nachos
Nachos are easy sharing food. We can plan a dairy-free version.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
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.
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 be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Aldershot: your questions answered
Is Aldershot close to London?
It’s about 34 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
We are having a ceremony at Church of the Holy Trinity: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you need power and water?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
What’s on the menu?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Can you serve drinks as well?
Yes. Our Mexican drinks bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Licensing is checked with you first.
Can you cater for special diets?
We can. We plan vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
Are plates and napkins included?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
