Mexican catering in Forton
Mexican catering in Forton, from our truck or trailer
With mobile Mexican catering, we bring the kitchen with us: our truck or trailer parks at your venue and we serve hot food straight from the hatch. You do not need a kitchen at the venue. For company summer parties and leaving dos and retirement parties, we can serve tacos, loaded nachos and a build-your-own taco bar and more.
In and around Forton, gardens and local halls are common choices. If access is tight or the ground is soft, we’ll plan around it. You’ll know what’s included before you book: menu, timings and any add-ons.
How it works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain doesn’t usually stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. In Forton, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- First, send us a few details about your event.
- We suggest fillings and extras and send a quote.
- Access, the serving spot, power and water are agreed in advance.
- On the day we park up, set up and serve hot food to order.
- We pack down after service and leave the area tidy.

FAQs for Forton
Can you cater a reception after a service at St John the Evangelist?
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.
How far is Forton from central London?
About 66 miles from central London.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we will keep their options separate.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
What are your prices?
There’s no fixed price list, as each event is different. Tell us your numbers and plans and we will send a quote for your event.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, including Forton.
Should I do it myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

Mexican catering around Forton

Forton is one of 683 places in Hampshire where we can bring Mexican catering. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Forton to Southampton (about 14 miles away).
A school such as St Mary's Catholic Primary School running a summer fair or fundraiser could book a taco truck.
