Dibden Purlieu questions
Do you come to events in the New Forest National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Could you come to a seaside event near Dibden Purlieu?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades normally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll go through the licensing with you.
Do you serve in the rain?
We serve from the truck or trailer whatever the weather, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we’ll talk it through.
Do you need electricity?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we will park.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
Catering for every guest
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included. To get it right:
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Tell us what other food is being served
When service ends, we pack down and clear our area quietly.
Extra salsas and toppings can widen the choice.
What affects the price in Dibden Purlieu
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- How many guests we’re serving
- Serving staff
- Distance and access to the venue
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.

- Where the event is

Is Mexican catering right for your event?
Sit-down meals need a kitchen, tables and more staff. Our truck or trailer brings its own kitchen, so we need a suitable spot, access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
What you get with us

Organising for someone else?
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
What we need at the venue
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
