Mexican catering in Durrants
Mexican catering in Durrants, from our truck or trailer
Mexican street food makes mixed diets simple. There are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, and allergen information is available for every dish. It works well for company summer parties and engagement celebrations, with fresh salsas and guacamole, tacos and burritos.
In a rural place like Durrants, access is the main thing to plan: the gate, the ground and the route from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.
Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Make sure the menu has a vegan option
We have allergen information for every dish at the hatch, and guests are welcome to ask before ordering.
Burrito bowls suit guests who’d rather skip the tortilla, and they’re easy to adapt for different diets.

What happens on the day
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Around midsummer it stays light in Durrants until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Share the date, the venue and how many are coming.
- Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
- We check the route in and where the truck or trailer will stand.
- Guests order at the hatch or build their own at the taco bar.
- After the last serving, we clear our area.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in

DIY taco night or a caterer?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.

Durrants: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Durrants for guests?
Guests can use Rowlands Castle station, about 0.9 miles north-east of Durrants.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St John the Baptist?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
How much is a food truck for an event?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
Can you set up at our venue?
Send us details of the venue and the access, and we’ll check it works. Space for a queue and, if you choose one, a taco-bar table helps too.
Is the food made fresh?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
Catering an event in Durrants
Durrants is about 2 miles north-east of Havant, in Hampshire. Tell us where your event in Durrants will be, and we’ll plan the journey and set-up. We serve in all 683 towns and villages in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 19 miles away.
For a fête or sports day at a school such as Havant Academy, hot food from a truck or trailer saves the volunteers from cooking. When the service is at a church such as St John the Baptist, the food generally happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck.
