About our Mexican catering in Brook
A build-your-own taco bar is one of the most sociable ways to feed a crowd. Guests fill their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, so each plate is exactly how they like it. At wedding breakfasts and evening food and milestone birthdays, we can serve a build-your-own taco bar, burrito bowls and tacos.
In a hamlet or village like Brook, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.
Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.
Organising a club, school or community event in Brook? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.
Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The length of service
- Guest numbers
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Whether you need disposables
There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican catering. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.

- How we drive in and where we can park

Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will send you a clear quote.

Brook: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Brook for guests?
Guests can use Ashurst New Forest station, about 4.2 miles south-east of Brook.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues 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 cater in a back garden?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
How is the food prepared?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
What can we choose from?
Every menu is agreed with you, with fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or black beans. Take a look at the sample menu.
How big an event can you cater?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options.
What else we do in Brook
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Count children separately
If you’ve chosen a taco bar, the fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests help themselves while we keep it topped up.
Ask about extra salsas and toppings for a bigger spread.

A closer look at the menu
Quesadillas
Toasted tortillas with melted cheese inside, cut into wedges.
Loaded nachos
Nachos are easy sharing food. We can plan a dairy-free version.
Before you choose a spot
If a space is not suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- A route in that is wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
