How our Mexican catering works in Ashurst
Few things get guests chatting like a build-your-own taco bar. Everyone builds their own tacos from what’s laid out, so nobody ends up with something they do not want. At weddings and evening receptions and garden parties, we’ll put together a menu of a build-your-own taco bar, burrito bowls and burritos and more.
Somewhere like Ashurst, a field or garden is often the setting. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.
A closer look at the menu
Build-your-own taco bar
A taco bar is relaxed and sociable, and guests with different diets can choose what suits them, with every dish labelled.
Quesadillas
Tortillas filled with melted cheese and a filling, toasted until crisp, cut into wedges.
What Mexican catering costs
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How many guests we are serving
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- A picture of where we’d park
- What you’d like on the menu
- The date and time of the event
- The address or venue name
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.

Other catering in Ashurst
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
How it compares
Pizza and burger vans are familiar choices. Tacos, burritos and nachos feel a little different. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why us?
- Allergen-aware menus
- Every guest catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included
- Served fresh from our truck or trailer
- A menu agreed with you

Mexican catering around Ashurst
Ashurst is about 2 miles south of Totton, in Hampshire. From the centre of Ashurst to the outskirts, Mexican catering works the same way: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. We cater in all 683 towns and villages in Hampshire. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 6 miles away.
By rail: the nearest station is Ashurst New Forest station, about 0.7 miles south-west. Nearby historic houses include Southampton Tudor House and Garden (4.8 miles east) and Medieval Merchant's House (4.9 miles east). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and vehicles early. With the New Forest National Park about 4 miles away at most, a rural setting is never far from Ashurst. Country lanes there can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in. The coast is within about 6 miles of Ashurst, 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.
Wherever your event is in SO40, we can bring Mexican catering to you. From Ash Grove, Cecil Avenue and Dene Road or anywhere nearby, we will plan where to park and serve. For events just outside Ashurst, we cover Colbury (1 mile east), Lyndhurst (3 miles south-west), Emery Down (4 miles south-west), Balmerlawn (5 miles south) and Brockenhurst (6 miles south-west). Larger places within reach include Winchester (14 miles north-east), Eastleigh (9 miles north-east), Fareham (14 miles east), Chandler's Ford (8 miles north-east), Hedge End (9 miles east) and Lymington (10 miles south).

What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If things run behind, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can. In Ashurst, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- First, send us your date, venue, numbers and any diets we should know about.
- We suggest a sample menu and send a quote for your event.
- Together we confirm where the truck or trailer will park, plus power and water.
- We arrive, set up and cook to order, with salsas and guacamole made fresh.
- When service ends, we pack down and clear our area.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Ask the venue about power and water
