How our Mexican catering works in Ashlett
We plan each menu with the client, so fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, alongside vegan choices such as black beans or spiced mushrooms. For leaving parties and school fairs and fundraisers, we’ll put together a menu of tacos, burritos and fresh salsas and guacamole for your guests.
For a rural spot like Ashlett, fields and drives need a little planning: the gate, the ground and the route from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

Catering an event in Ashlett
Ashlett is about 4 miles south-east of Hythe, in Hampshire. Tell us where your event in Ashlett will be, and we’ll plan access and set-up before the day. We serve in all 683 towns and villages in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Ashlett to Southampton (about 7 miles away).
For a fête or sports day at a school such as Fawley Infant School, hot food from a truck or trailer saves the volunteers from cooking. If you are celebrating after a service at a church like Church of All Saints, a truck or trailer parked at a hall or garden close by can serve the meal. Venues in and around the New Forest National Park, within about 5 miles of Ashlett, sometimes limit where vehicles can go. Ask yours about access for a truck or trailer before booking. The coast is within about 3 miles of Ashlett, so for a seaside event we plan around the wind. The truck or trailer needs firm ground rather than sand or shingle, and seafront spots usually need permission from the council or landowner.

Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
Food is served from the hatch, order by order, so it’s hot when it reaches them.
Loaded nachos make a good sharing starter or as a late snack.
