Mexican catering for your event in Hillyfields
Mixed diets are easy to plan with Mexican street food. We plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish. We serve burritos, loaded nachos and burrito bowls, and it suits birthday parties and summer garden parties.
Around Hillyfields, events are often in gardens, fields, local halls or nearby venues. If the road in is narrow or the ground is soft, tell us so we can plan for the truck or trailer. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

How the day works
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Daylight in Hillyfields runs to about 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. Let us know if service will run after dark, and we will talk about lighting.
- First, send us your date, venue, numbers and any diets we should know about.
- We suggest a sample menu and send a quote for your event.
- We check access, power and water with you or the venue.
- On the day we arrive, set up and serve hot food from our food truck or trailer.
- When service ends, we pack down and clear our area.
How to prepare
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve

DIY taco night versus a caterer
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.

- How many staff you need
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food

Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.

Hillyfields: your questions answered
Do you cater at coastal events near Hillyfields?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades normally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Which station is closest to Hillyfields?
Guests can use Redbridge station, about 1.1 miles south of Hillyfields.
Can guests build their own tacos?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
How much does Mexican catering cost in Hillyfields?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
How does your Mexican catering work?
We bring our food truck or trailer to your venue, cook to order and serve tacos, burritos and more from the hatch. You can also have a build-your-own taco bar.
What do you need at the venue?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
Planning the serving area
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- Space for guests to queue
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Planning a food truck in Hillyfields
Hillyfields is about 2 miles north-west of Regents Park, in Southampton. Anywhere in SO16, we can bring the truck or trailer to you. Hillyfields is one of 40 places in Southampton where we can bring Mexican catering.
A school such as Holy Family Catholic Primary School running a summer fair or fundraiser could book a taco truck. If you are celebrating after a service at a church like All Saints, a truck or trailer parked at a hall or garden close by can serve the meal. With the New Forest National Park about 7 miles away at most, a rural setting is never far from Hillyfields. Country lanes there can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in. With the sea within about 4 miles, a beach-side event might appeal. Promenades and beaches normally need permission, and the truck or trailer has to park on firm ground, not sand.
We serve at events all over the SO16 postcode area. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Maplin Road, Colne Avenue and Hayburn Road or the roads around them. Hillyfields is on the M271, so it’s easy for us to reach with the truck or trailer. Other places close to Hillyfields for Mexican catering include Nursling (1 mile north), Maybush (1 mile south-east), Upton (1 mile north), Rownhams (1 mile north-east) and Coxford (1 mile east). Larger places within reach include Southampton (3 miles east), Townhill Park (5 miles east), Midanbury (5 miles east), Thornhill (6 miles east), Chartwell Green (5 miles east) and Harefield (6 miles east).
Other landmarks nearby include Marlands Shopping Centre (3.4 miles south-east) and Eling Experience (1.4 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Testwood Lakes.
- Local schools include Oasis Academy Lord's Hill (0.6 miles north-east) and Millbrook Community School (0.6 miles east)
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Count children separately
- Tell us what other food is being served
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
We work around your timings, and adapt if they move.
Quesadillas go down well with children.
