Mexican catering in Burkham
Mexican catering in Burkham, served fresh
We plan each menu with the client, so fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, and vegan options like spiced mushrooms or black beans. On the menu are tacos, a build-your-own taco bar and loaded nachos, and it’s a good fit for staff parties and office lunches and birthday parties.
For a rural spot like Burkham, 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. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Popular choices
Salsas and guacamole

What happens if it rains?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.

How it works
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. Evenings in Burkham stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm. For anything running past sunset, think about lights near the hatch.

Organising for someone else?
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Prices and what affects them
We’ll give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- The length of service
- Parking and the route in
- Your choice of food and drinks
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What we need to know
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- A picture of where we’d park
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both

- Include at least one vegan filling
Rain does not stop us serving from the truck or trailer, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.

We serve in all 683 towns and villages across Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.

Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Space, access and the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
