Mexican catering for Ashley events
Mexican catering for your event in Ashley
Tacos are the heart of the menu: warm tortillas with your choice of fillings, plus fresh salsas, guacamole and toppings. Burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas can sit alongside them. At company summer parties and fairs and festivals, we can serve quesadillas, burrito bowls and burritos for your guests.
In and around Ashley, gardens and local halls are common choices. If access is tight or the ground is soft, we’ll plan around it. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
Step by step
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. Guests come up to order when service opens. From late May to late September, sunset in Ashley moves from about 8:55pm to 7:10pm. Let us know if service will run after dark, and we’ll talk about lighting.
- Begin with the date, the place and the numbers.
- Expect a suggested menu 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.

Mexican catering around Ashley
Ashley is about 4 miles west of Lymington, in Hampshire. Whether your event is in the middle of Ashley or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh service from our truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We cater in 683 places across Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. We cater right across the region, from Ashley to Southampton (15 miles away).
When the service is at a church such as St. Peter's Church, the food usually happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck. Nearby historic houses include Highcliffe Castle (3.5 miles south-west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and vehicles early. The New Forest National Park is within about 5 miles of Ashley, with country venues and gardens that can suit a food truck. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about vehicles and catering, so check with yours. With the sea within about 5 miles, a beach-side event might appeal. Promenades and beaches generally need permission, and the truck or trailer has to park on firm ground, not sand.
We cover events in every part of BH25 and SO41 and the streets around it. Streets in the area include Franklin Road, Miller Close and Manor Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Nearby, we also cater events in New Milton (1 mile south-west), Hordle (1 mile east), Bashley (1 mile north-west), Tiptoe (1 mile north-east) and Barton on Sea (2 miles south-west). Larger places within reach include Totton (12 miles north-east), Lymington (4 miles east), Hythe (13 miles north-east), Ringwood (8 miles north-west), Dibden Purlieu (12 miles north-east) and Marchwood (12 miles north-east).
A little further out are Sammy Miller Motorcycle Museum (1.4 miles west) and Lymington New Forest Hospital (4.3 miles east). Open spaces near Ashley include Milford on Sea LNR.
- Schools near Ashley include Ballard School (0.7 miles west) and The Arnewood School (1.1 miles south-west)
- Local pubs include The Plough Public House (0.9 miles north)
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
What affects the price in Ashley
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- The number of people
- Staff for serving and the bar
- What the venue already provides
- What’s on the menu
Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- What you’d like on the menu
- Your date and when you want service to start
- How we drive in and where we can park

Ashley questions
Do you come to events in the New Forest National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Can you serve near the sea around Ashley?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades generally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Can you serve in bad weather?
We serve from the truck or trailer whatever the weather, though guests need a covered place to eat.
What’s on the menu?
We agree the menu with each client, with fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or black beans. Take a look at the sample menu.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Can you cater for special diets?
Yes. There are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.

Why choose Mexican catering in Ashley?

Planning for every diet
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
Once everyone has eaten, we tidy up and pack away, leaving the space as we found it.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can be added from our drinks bar.
Before you choose a spot
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- A route in that is wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
