About our Mexican catering in Chilworth
Serving from a truck or trailer keeps the mood easy-going. Guests come up to the hatch, chat while they wait and take something hot back to their seats, which suits informal events. Popular choices include burrito bowls, fresh salsas and guacamole and a build-your-own taco bar, and it suits office lunches and team days and weddings, day or evening.
In a hamlet or village like Chilworth, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. You’ll know what’s included before you book: menu, timings and any add-ons.

Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
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.
Popular choices
Build-your-own taco bar
The taco bar keeps things sociable, and it makes mixed diets easy, with every dish labelled.

Planning the serving area
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
- A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.

Chilworth: your questions answered
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Denys?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Can you serve near the sea around Chilworth?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades generally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
How long do you serve for?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
What do you need at the venue?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
What are your prices?
We don’t publish set prices, because every event is different. Tell us your numbers and plans and we’ll send a quote for your event.
What does Mexican catering cost?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Working with your venue
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
Perfect for your event in Chilworth
You do not need a kitchen, so gardens, fields and outdoor venues are all possible.
If you’re planning any of these, we can help:
- Company summer parties
- Engagement and anniversary parties
- Leaving dos and retirement parties
- Big birthday celebrations
For a christening or wedding at a church such as Church of St Denys, a food truck at a garden or venue nearby is an easy way to feed everyone.

Planning a food truck in Chilworth
Chilworth is about 2 miles south-west of Chandler's Ford, in Southampton. Tell us where your event in Chilworth will be, and we will plan the journey and set-up before the day. We cover 40 places across Southampton.
Guests arriving by train will find that the nearest station is Swaythling station, about 1.9 miles south-east. If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Cantell School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser. The coast is within about 5 miles of Chilworth, 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.
