Mexican catering in Chartwell Green, served fresh
Serving from a truck or trailer keeps the mood easy-going. People wander up, order at the hatch and head off with hot food. It suits fundraisers and school events and summer garden parties, serving a build-your-own taco bar, quesadillas and loaded nachos.
A place like Chartwell Green may have a hall or a club with a car park nearby; a truck or trailer can work at any of them, with permission and a level spot. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Planning for every diet
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
Guests order at the hatch and we serve them there and then, so it’s hot when it reaches them.
Tell us if you need plates, cutlery or serving staff and we’ll confirm what’s possible with your quote.
Is Mexican catering right for your event?
Burgers and pizza are what guests often expect. Mexican street food stands out, while still being easy food most people enjoy. Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
What space do you need?
Tell us about the venue and the way in, and we will confirm what we need. Space for a queue and, if you choose one, a taco-bar table helps too.

What we need at the venue
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking

Parents planning a fundraiser at a school like Townhill Infant School might find a Mexican street-food truck draws families in. Thinking of an event in Itchen Valley Country Park? Public parks usually need the landowner’s permission for a food truck, so check first. With the sea within about 4 miles, a beach-side event might appeal. Promenades and beaches typically need permission, and the truck or trailer has to park on firm ground, not sand.

Nearby, we also cater events in Townhill Park (1 mile west), West End (1 mile east), Midanbury (1 mile south-west), Mansbridge (1 mile north-west) and Harefield (1 mile south).
