How our Mexican catering works in Buriton
Keep it simple or go further: a taco menu, or tacos plus loaded nachos, quesadillas and burrito bowls. Our Mexican drinks bar can be added too, with licensing checked with you. It works well for markets and community events and anniversaries and engagements, serving fresh salsas and guacamole, burritos and tacos.
Somewhere like Buriton, 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.

FAQs for Buriton
Do you come to events in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Could you serve in Ditcham Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
What if it rains?
We serve from the truck or trailer whatever the weather, though guests need a covered place to eat.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so contact us early.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from.
Do you take everything away?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will talk it through.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll go through the licensing with you.
What do you need at the venue?
Tell us about the venue and the way in, and we’ll check it works. Space for a queue and, if you choose one, a taco-bar table helps too.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Include at least one vegan filling
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Send allergy details to us in writing
Allergen information is on hand for every dish, so guests can check before they order.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas.
How it compares
Burgers and pizza are what guests often expect. Mexican street food stands out, while still being easy food most people enjoy. 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.

Taco catering in Buriton: local tips
Buriton is about 2 miles south of Petersfield, in Hampshire. For Mexican catering in Buriton, we plan around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and friendly service on the day. We serve in 683 places across Hampshire. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Buriton to Southampton (20 miles away).
A school such as Buriton Primary School running a summer fair or fundraiser could book a taco truck. A gathering in Ditcham Park would need the park owner’s say-so for any catering vehicle, and that is worth sorting out early. The South Downs National Park is within about 2 miles of Buriton, 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.
Wherever your event is in GU31, we can bring Mexican catering to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes.

Should I do it myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
What happens on the day
On the day, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, planned around your event. Around midsummer it stays light in Buriton until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Start by telling us about your event.
- You get a sample menu and a quote.
- We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- We arrive, set up and serve from the hatch.
- We pack down after service and leave the area tidy.
How to prepare
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
