Planning a food truck in Hipley
Hipley is about 4 miles west of Waterlooville, in Hampshire. From the centre of Hipley to the outskirts, we offer the same service: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. We cater in all 683 towns and villages across Hampshire, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 12 miles away.
By rail: Portchester station is about 3.6 miles away. For a fête or sports day at a school such as Newtown Soberton Infant School, hot food from a truck or trailer saves the volunteers from cooking.
Mexican catering in PO7 is planned around your venue and access and timings. If your venue is just outside Hipley, we also cover Worlds End (1 mile east), Hoe Gate (1 mile north), Newtown (1 mile north-west), Southend (1 mile north) and Soberton Heath (2 miles north-west). Larger places within reach include Winchester (14 miles north-west), Gosport (7 miles south), Havant (6 miles south-east), Eastleigh (11 miles north-west), Fareham (5 miles south-west) and Horndean (5 miles east).
A little further out are Queen Alexandra Hospital (4 miles south-east) and Portchester Castle (4.4 miles south). Not far away are Portsdown Hill and St Clair's Meadow.
How our Mexican catering works in Hipley
We slow-cook the fillings ahead and finish them on site, and the salsas and guacamole are freshly made. Tortillas are warmed as we serve. It works well for engagement celebrations and weddings, day or evening, serving tacos, fresh salsas and guacamole and loaded nachos.
For a rural spot like Hipley, fields and drives need a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.
Your questions about Mexican catering in Hipley
How far is Hipley from central London?
About 61 miles from central London, and well within our area.
We are having a ceremony at Church of the Holy Trinity: can you cater afterwards?
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.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will talk licensing through with you.
How does your Mexican catering work?
We park our truck or trailer at your venue and serve hot Mexican street food from it. A build-your-own taco bar is another option.
Can you set up at our venue?
We need level, firm ground or hardstanding, access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water when you book.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we’ll keep their options separate.
Prices and what affects them
We’ll give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- The length of service
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Distance and access to the venue
- What’s on the menu
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.

What’s on the menu
Burritos and burrito bowls
Rice, beans, a filling and toppings rolled in a large tortilla, or served as a bowl instead.
Build-your-own taco bar
A serving table of fillings, salsas and toppings, with warm tortillas to fill. Each guest makes tacos their way.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included. To make it work smoothly:
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
If timings change on the day, tell us and we will adjust.
Loaded nachos make a good sharing starter.
How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. A December event in Hipley 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.
- Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
- We check the route in and where the truck or trailer will stand.
- Guests order at the hatch or build their own at the taco bar.
- After the last serving, we clear our area.
Preparing for the day
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Give us your final numbers and diets
