How Mexican catering works in Hampshire

Our food truck or trailer travels to events across Hampshire and nearby: private gardens, venue grounds, courtyards and fields, wherever we can get in safely. It works well for charity and school events and markets and community events, with tacos, burrito bowls and quesadillas.

We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A picture of the space helps.

  1. First, send us a few details about your event.
  2. You get a sample menu and a quote.
  3. We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
  4. On the day we park up, set up and serve hot food to order.
  5. Once service ends, we clear away.

What it costs in Hampshire

A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.

Near you in Basingstoke

In Basingstoke, that could mean a party near King's Furlong Infant School and Nursery, Cranbourne and Eastrop Park, among other places. Nearby too are The Rising Sun pub (0.5 miles north-east), St Michael's Church (0.5 miles east) and The Costello School (1 mile east). The nearest railway station is Basingstoke station, about 0.6 miles east of the centre. A little further out are Basing House (2.2 miles east) and The Malls (0.6 miles east). Not far away are Farleigh Hill and Daneshill Park Woods.

Planning a food truck in Hampshire

Across Hampshire, we cater in 23 towns and 538 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from Basingstoke, Winchester and Gosport to a quiet hamlet: access, level ground and a clear plan. Parts of Hampshire are within a few miles of the New Forest National Park, the South Downs National Park and the Surrey Hills National Landscape, so check venue rules on vehicles, ground and access for countryside events. Around 143 places in Hampshire are close to the coast, so we often plan around the wind at coastal events, and seafront spots need permission and firm ground for the truck or trailer.

Basingstoke: Guests leaving a church like St Michael's Church after a christening could walk over to a nearby garden where the tacos are ready. Close to Basingstoke are historic houses such as The Vyne (2.9 miles north). Estates and historic houses tend to set their own rules for caterers, so find out what yours allows first. A December event in Basingstoke will be in the dark from about 4:00pm, so choose a spot where guests can see what they’re ordering. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:25pm.

Prices and what affects them

These are the factors that matter most:

  • Whether you need disposables
  • Food, drinks or both
  • Travel, parking and access
  • How many staff you need

Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Your quote confirms the full price.

What to tell us

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:

  • A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field
  • The date and time of the event
  • Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
  • Approximate guest numbers, including children

It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will send you a clear quote and a suggested menu.

DIY taco night versus a caterer

A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.

A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.

How it compares

If you want food that feels relaxed without being basic, a taco bar or a menu of tacos, burritos and nachos is hard to beat.

What your quote should include

  • Whether VAT is included
  • Plates and napkins, or nothing at all
  • How dietary needs and allergies are handled
  • Staff numbers and hours

Diets, allergies and planning

Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:

  • Have a covered area ready in case of rain
  • Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
  • Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
  • Give us separate numbers for children

If you’ve chosen a taco bar, the fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests help themselves.

Ask about extra salsas and toppings for a bigger spread.

Planning the serving area

We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:

  • Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
  • Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
  • A spot for a taco-bar serving table

Common questions in Hampshire

Do you need electricity?

Let us know what’s available on site, for example a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.

How does mobile Mexican catering work?

Our truck or trailer is a mobile kitchen. We set up, serve your guests and clear away when service ends.

What space do you need?

Level, firm ground, access for the truck or trailer and the venue’s agreement. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.

How soon do we need to book?

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.

Can you come to a private house?

Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.

What are your prices?

Every event is quoted for individually, depending on numbers, menu, venue and timings. For a price, tell us about it on our contact page.

Do you do margaritas?

Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
