Mexican catering for Braishfield events
How our Mexican catering works in Braishfield
Few things get guests chatting like a build-your-own taco bar. Guests fill their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, so each plate is exactly how they like it. It suits leaving dos and retirement parties and birthday parties, with fresh salsas and guacamole, burritos and tacos.
Somewhere like Braishfield, a field or garden is often the setting. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
A closer look at the menu
Salsas and guacamole
Salsas and guacamole, made fresh for your event.
Tacos
Street tacos are small, quick and full of flavour. They come with fresh salsas and toppings.
Diets, allergies and planning
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
Food is served from the hatch, order by order, so it is hot when it reaches them.
A tray of loaded nachos works well to start.

About 68 miles from central London, and we cover it.
Which station should guests use for Braishfield?
Romsey station, about 2.4 miles south-west of the centre.
Can you serve in bad weather?
Rain does not stop service from the hatch. Have somewhere covered ready for guests.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.

That’s confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.

Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will plan the menu around them.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.

How the day works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. In Braishfield, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Begin with the date, the place and the numbers.
- Expect a suggested menu and a quote.
- Closer to the day, we confirm timings and arrangements.
- We serve hot food from our food truck or trailer at the agreed time.
- When you are done, we pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat

Should I do it myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
