Working with your venue
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Mexican catering in Alverstoke, from our food truck or trailer
Every menu is agreed with you, so fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, alongside vegan choices such as black beans or spiced mushrooms. It suits charity and school events and engagement celebrations, serving loaded nachos, tacos and burrito bowls.
Somewhere like Alverstoke, a field or garden is often the setting. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.
What else we do in Alverstoke
Catering for every guest
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Make sure the menu has a vegan option
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
If timings change on the day, tell us and we will adjust.
A tray of loaded nachos works well to start or as a late snack.
About the menu
Loaded nachos
Loaded nachos are perfect for sharing, whether as a starter or a late bite. Dairy-free versions can be planned.
Salsas and guacamole
The salsas and guacamole finish every plate.
Mexican catering or something else?
Pizza and burger vans are familiar choices. Tacos, burritos and nachos feel a little different. There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican catering. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.

DIY taco night or a caterer?

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.

Your questions about Mexican catering in Alverstoke
How far is Alverstoke from central London?
About 68 miles from central London, and we cover it.
Can you serve near the sea around Alverstoke?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades typically need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Do you need power and water?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we’ll park.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll talk it through.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a picture and we’ll talk it through.
What’s on the menu?
Tacos, build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. Our sample menu has more detail.
What’s on the menu?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Why choose Mexican catering in Alverstoke?
There’s no kitchen needed at the venue, so it works in gardens, fields and grounds without catering facilities.
A truck or trailer works for big and small events alike. Common bookings include:
- Retirement and leaving parties
- Summer garden parties
- Staff parties and office lunches
- Wedding breakfasts and evening food
For a fête or sports day at a school such as Alverstoke Community Infant School, hot food from a truck or trailer saves the volunteers from cooking.
Before you book anyone
- The caterer’s food hygiene rating
- The wet-weather plan
- Who provides plates and napkins
- Allergen information for each dish
Where the truck can go in Alverstoke
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

How the day works
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. Winter evenings in Alverstoke close in by about 4:00pm, so choose a spot where guests can see what they’re ordering. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Begin with the date, the place and the numbers.
- We come back with menu ideas and a quote.
- Nearer the date, we go over the final plan.
- At the agreed time, service starts from the truck or trailer.
- We pack away when service is over.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
