Mexican catering in Butlocks Heath
Dietary needs and planning tips
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Make sure the menu has a vegan option
On the day, we arrive in good time to park up and get ready. All we need is someone to show us the agreed spot.
A tray of loaded nachos works well to start.
Mexican catering for your event in Butlocks Heath
Mexican street food makes mixed diets simple. There are vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish. At milestone birthdays and fairs and festivals, we’ll put together a menu of burrito bowls, burritos and tacos for your guests.
In a hamlet or village like Butlocks Heath, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
Planning a food truck in Butlocks Heath
Butlocks Heath is about 3 miles north-east of Hythe, in Hampshire. For an event in Butlocks Heath, we can serve in gardens, fields, venues, car parks and courtyards with access in and around Butlocks Heath. Butlocks Heath is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire where we can bring Mexican catering.
Before you pencil in Westwood Woodland Park, find out who manages it: driving a truck onto parkland and selling food there both need their agreement. Historic houses near Butlocks Heath include Medieval Merchant's House (3.2 miles north-west) and Southampton Tudor House and Garden (3.2 miles north-west). Venues like these often limit where vehicles can go, so ask about access before booking one. Venues in and around the New Forest National Park, within about 7 miles of Butlocks Heath, sometimes limit where vehicles can go. Ask yours about access for a truck or trailer before you book. With the sea within about 2 miles, a beach-side event might appeal. Promenades and beaches generally need permission, and the truck or trailer has to park on firm ground, not sand.
