Mexican catering in Dibden, from our truck or trailer
Few things get guests chatting like a build-your-own taco bar. Guests fill their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, so each plate is exactly how they like it. Popular choices include a build-your-own taco bar, tacos and quesadillas, which works well for family celebrations and charity and school events.
In a smaller place like Dibden, your own garden, drive or a local hall is often the simplest option: no venue hire, and nobody stuck in the kitchen. Let us know about the route to the house. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.
Popular choices
Quesadillas
Tortillas filled with melted cheese and a filling, toasted until crisp, cut into wedges.
Loaded nachos
Nachos are easy sharing food. Dairy-free versions can be planned.
Dietary needs and planning tips
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Check that your venue allows outside caterers and vehicles
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
Once everyone has eaten, we tidy up and pack away, leaving the space as we found it.
Quesadillas are a good choice for children and cautious eaters.
Questions from Dibden
Which station is closest to Dibden?
Guests can use Southampton Town Quay station, about 2.2 miles north-east of Dibden.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of All Saints?
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.
What do you need at the venue?
We need level, firm ground or hardstanding, access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water when you book.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll suggest the best set-up.
Do you serve in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop service from the hatch. Plan a marquee, gazebo or indoor space for guests to eat in.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
What is mobile Mexican catering?
We bring our food truck or trailer to your venue, cook to order and serve tacos, burritos and more from the hatch. A build-your-own taco bar is another option.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will suggest mild options.
Where the truck can go in Dibden
If a space is not suitable, we will tell you, and help find another spot. What matters most:
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- Room for a serving table for the taco bar
- Permission from the venue or landowner
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
What we offer
- Quesadillas
- Tacos
- Burritos
- Build-your-own taco bar
- Loaded nachos
- Burrito bowls
Should I do it myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, 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.
