Mexican catering in Funtley
About our Mexican catering in Funtley
Our truck and trailer service tends to suit around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case, so let us know how many you expect. It works well for staff parties and office lunches and wedding breakfasts and evening food, serving loaded nachos, burrito bowls and burritos.
In a hamlet or village like Funtley, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
What affects the price in Funtley
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Guest numbers
- Timings and hours
- Your choice of food and drinks
What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- The date and time of the event
- What power and water the site has
- Your menu ideas
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will send you a clear quote.
Before you choose a spot
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

How it compares
Sit-down meals need a kitchen, tables and more staff. A food truck or trailer is its own kitchen, and needs a suitable spot, safe access and the venue’s agreement. There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican catering. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.

How the day works
When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. Winter evenings in Funtley close in by about 4:00pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. At midsummer, the light holds until around 9:20pm.
- Start by telling us about your event.
- We suggest fillings and extras and send a quote.
- Access, the serving spot, power and water are agreed in advance.
- We arrive, set up and serve from the hatch.
- Once service ends, we clear away.
How to prepare

Popular choices
Quesadillas
Tortillas filled with melted cheese and a filling, toasted until crisp, cut into wedges.
Burritos and burrito bowls
Rice, beans, a filling and toppings rolled in a large tortilla, or the same served in a bowl.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Mention any other caterers or courses
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
If you’ve chosen a taco bar, the fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests help themselves while we keep it topped up.
Burrito bowls suit guests who’d rather skip the tortilla, and they’re easy to adapt for different diets.

FAQs for Funtley
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Francis: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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.
Which station should guests use for Funtley?
Guests can use Fareham station, about 1.4 miles south-east of Funtley.
Can you cater for special diets?
We plan carefully for diets and keep options separate, though we can’t guarantee a kitchen with no trace of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us first.
Do you serve in the rain?
We serve from the truck or trailer whatever the weather, though guests need a covered place to eat.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
How long are you on site?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book.
How many guests can you cater for?
Our service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Bigger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case.
Taco catering in Funtley: local tips
Funtley is about 1 mile north of Fareham, in Hampshire. Anywhere in PO15, we can serve your guests. Funtley is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire we cover. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Funtley to Southampton (9 miles away).
If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Orchard Lea Infant School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser. When the service is at a church such as Church of St Francis, the food generally happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck. The coast is within about 5 miles of Funtley, so for a seaside event we plan around the wind. The truck or trailer needs firm ground rather than sand or shingle, and seafront spots generally need permission from the council or landowner.
We serve at events all over PO15, PO17 and PO16. From Funtley Road, Stag Way and Roebuck Avenue or anywhere nearby, we will plan where to park and serve.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
