About our Mexican catering in Hillhead
You can keep the menu short or make it a feast: a taco menu, or tacos plus loaded nachos, quesadillas and burrito bowls. Our Mexican drinks bar can be added too, with licensing checked with you. At big birthday celebrations and staff parties and office lunches, we’ll put together a menu of quesadillas, loaded nachos and burrito bowls.
Somewhere as small as Hillhead, a garden or field is often the venue. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we’ll plan for them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.

The price comes down to a few factors:

- What the venue already provides

FAQs for Hillhead
Could you come to a seaside event near Hillhead?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Seafront and beach spots normally need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Which station should guests use for Hillhead?
Hamble station, about 4.3 miles north of the centre.
How does your Mexican catering work?
Our truck or trailer is a mobile kitchen. We set up, serve your guests and clear away when service ends.
Is the food made fresh?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you need electricity?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.

London and South East England: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire.
How many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Evenings in Hillhead stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm. For anything running past sunset, think about lights near the hatch.

Organising for someone else?
Hosting a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we’ll let you know if it’s a good fit.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
- Count children separately
- Mention any other caterers or courses
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
Food is served from the hatch, order by order, so it’s hot when it reaches them.
Ask about extra salsas and toppings for a bigger spread.
Should I do it myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.

- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
