Planning for every diet
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Mention any other caterers or courses
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
Rain does not stop us serving from the truck or trailer, though guests need somewhere under cover to eat.
Extra salsas and toppings can widen the choice.
Mexican catering in Calshot, from our truck or trailer
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case, so tell us your numbers. For office lunches and team days and garden get-togethers, we can serve fresh salsas and guacamole, burritos and tacos and more.
In a rural place like Calshot, access is the main thing to plan: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Common questions in Calshot
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Which station should guests use for Calshot?
Guests can use Hamble station, about 4.1 miles north of Calshot.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll suggest the best set-up.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
What can we choose from?
We agree the menu with each client, with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria or spiced mushrooms. Take a look at the sample menu.
Can you cater for special diets?
Diets are planned in advance, with options kept separate, though we cannot guarantee a kitchen with no trace of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we will keep their options separate.
How long do you serve for?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
Planning the serving area
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- A spot for a taco-bar serving table

Mexican catering or something else?
Next to a hog roast or a barbecue, tacos make vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to cater for, thanks to separate fillings and toppings. Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Calshot: venues, access and local tips
Calshot is about 4 miles north of Cowes, in Hampshire. Anywhere in SO45, we will come to your venue or site, as long as there’s access. Calshot is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 8 miles away.
If people are travelling in by rail, the nearest station is Hamble station, about 4.1 miles north. Historic houses near Calshot include Osborne House (4.9 miles south-east). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and vehicles early. Venues in and around the New Forest National Park, within about 6 miles of Calshot, sometimes limit where vehicles can go. Ask yours about access for a truck or trailer before you book. The coast is within about 4 miles of Calshot, so for a seaside event we plan around the wind. The truck or trailer needs firm ground rather than sand or shingle, and seafront spots normally need permission from the council or landowner.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
