Mexican catering for Hardley events
Mexican catering in Hardley, from our food truck or trailer
A build-your-own taco bar is one of the most sociable ways to feed a crowd. Guests fill their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, so nobody ends up with something they do not want. At big birthday celebrations and christenings and family parties, we can serve burritos, a build-your-own taco bar and tacos and more.
Somewhere as small as Hardley, a garden or field is often the venue. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we will plan for them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Check that your venue allows outside caterers and vehicles
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
If timings change on the day, tell us and we will adjust.
Extra salsas and toppings can widen the choice.

Planning a food truck in Hardley
Hardley is about 2 miles south of Hythe, in Hampshire. Whether your event is in the middle of Hardley or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. Hardley is one of 683 places in Hampshire where we can bring Mexican catering.
When the service is at a church such as St Anne, the food normally happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck. If people are travelling in by rail, Netley station is about 3.3 miles away. Hardley is within about 4 miles of the New Forest National Park, with country venues and gardens that can suit a food truck. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about vehicles and catering, so check with yours. With the sea within about 4 miles, a beach-side event might appeal. Promenades and beaches typically need permission, and the truck or trailer has to park on firm ground, not sand.
We serve at events all over SO45 and the streets around it. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Harrier Way, Harrier Green and Falconer Court. Other places close to Hardley for Mexican catering include Little Holbury (1 mile south), Holbury (1 mile south), Frostlane (1 mile north), Roughdown (1 mile south) and Blackfield (2 miles south-east). We also cater in nearby towns such as Gosport (11 miles east), Eastleigh (9 miles north), Fareham (9 miles east), Totton (7 miles north-west), Chandler's Ford (10 miles north) and Hedge End (7 miles north-east).
Other landmarks nearby include Royal South Hants Hospital (5.1 miles north) and Beaulieu Abbey And Display Of Monastic Life (2.9 miles west). Not far away are Mercury Marshes.
- Schools near Hardley include Manor Church of England Infant School (less than half a mile south)
Hardley: your questions answered
Will you travel to a small place like Hardley?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Do you come to events in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we will keep their options separate.
Can you serve drinks as well?
You can add our drinks bar, with bar staff serving margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. Alcohol needs the right licence, so we will check that with you.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
Do you come to Hardley?
Yes, we do. We serve at events in Hardley and across Hampshire. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you cater in a back garden?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a photo and we will talk it through.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- How long we’re needed on site
- What’s on the menu
- Staff for serving and the bar
- The number of people
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- Expected numbers
- How we drive in and where we can park
- The date and time of the event
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just send a quick message through our quote form.
Who books Mexican catering in Hardley?
Mixed diets are easy to plan for, since everyone picks their own fillings and toppings. Vegetarian and vegan guests get a proper meal, not an afterthought.
Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Common bookings include:
- Summer garden parties
- Christenings and family parties
- Markets and community events
- Company summer parties
A school such as The New Forest Academy running a summer fair or fundraiser could book a taco truck.
Before booking anyone
- How many staff are serving, and for how long
- The wet-weather plan
- What the caterer needs from your venue
- VAT, if it applies
Comparing your options
Compared with a hog roast or barbecue, tacos make vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to cater for, thanks to separate fillings and toppings. Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Your quote confirms the full price.

How it works
When service finishes, we pack up and leave our area tidy. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. A December event in Hardley will be in the dark from about 4:00pm, so choose a spot where guests can see what they’re ordering. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Share the date, the venue and how many are coming.
- We plan a menu that covers every diet.
- We confirm the way in and where we’ll park.
- Guests order at the hatch or build their own at the taco bar.
- We clear our serving area when everyone is fed.
