About our Mexican catering in Clayhall
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Larger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case, so tell us your numbers. For garden get-togethers and fairs and festivals, we’ll put together a menu of loaded nachos, a build-your-own taco bar and fresh salsas and guacamole for your guests.
Around Clayhall, events are often in gardens, fields, local halls or nearby venues. If the road in is narrow or the ground is soft, tell us so we can plan for the truck or trailer. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
Planning a food truck in Clayhall
Clayhall is about 2 miles south-east of Gosport, in Hampshire. For Mexican catering in Clayhall, we plan around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day. Clayhall is one of 683 places in Hampshire where we can bring Mexican catering. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 15 miles away.
A school such as Haselworth Primary School running a summer fair or fundraiser could book a taco truck. When the service is at a church such as St Francis, the food usually happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck. With the sea within about 2 miles, a beach-side event might appeal. Promenades and beaches normally need permission, and the truck or trailer has to park on firm ground, not sand.

How it works

Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
- Make sure the menu has a vegan option
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
For a taco bar, we lay the fillings, salsas and toppings out on a table, and guests build their own.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can be added from our drinks bar.
Clayhall questions
What’s the nearest station to Clayhall for guests?
The closest is Portsmouth Harbour station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
We are having a ceremony at St Francis: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
What access do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options.
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Can you cater for special diets?
We can. There are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. We give allergen information for every dish.
Should I do it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
