Mexican catering in Bidden, served fresh
Every menu is agreed with you, with fillings such as slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, and vegan options like spiced mushrooms or black beans. At staff parties and office lunches and family celebrations, we can serve a build-your-own taco bar, tacos and fresh salsas and guacamole.
For a rural spot like Bidden, fields and drives need a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements with you. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.
Catering an event in Bidden
Bidden is about 4 miles south of Hook, in Hampshire. For an event in Bidden, we can park up at venues, fields, drives and courtyards. We serve in all 683 towns and villages across Hampshire. Our nearest city page is Reading, about 15 miles away.
A school such as Robert May's School running a summer fair or fundraiser could book a taco truck. Guests arriving by train will find that Hook station is about 3.6 miles away.
We cover events in every part of RG25 and the streets around it. Streets in the area include Bidden Road, Elder Dell and Meadowside, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Little Hoddington (1 mile west), South Warnborough (1 mile south-east), Long Sutton (2 miles east), Greywell (2 miles north-east) and Up Nately (2 miles north).

Working with your venue
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
What happens on the day
Once service is over, we pack down and clear our own area. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. Planning an evening event in Bidden? Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights or floodlights help once it gets dark.

Planning for every diet
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included. To make it work smoothly:
