Mexican catering in Hordle
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
- Mention any other caterers or courses
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
We have allergen information for every dish at the hatch, so guests can check before they order.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas.
Mexican catering in Hordle, from our food truck or trailer
Food from a truck or trailer feels relaxed. Guests come up to the hatch, chat while they wait and take something hot back to their seats. At garden parties and engagement and anniversary parties, we can serve a build-your-own taco bar, tacos and quesadillas.
For a place the size of Hordle, your own garden or drive is often the best venue: no venue hire, and nobody stuck in the kitchen. Tell us about access down the lane or drive. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
FAQs for Hordle
Could you come to a seaside event near Hordle?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Seafront and beach spots normally need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Do you cater in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
What is mobile Mexican catering?
We park our food truck or trailer at your venue and serve hot Mexican street food from it. You can also have a build-your-own taco bar.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
What access do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
What affects the price in Hordle
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- How long we are needed on site
- Serving staff
- The menu you choose
- What the venue already provides
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- What you’d like on the menu
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- What power and water the site has
- The date and rough timings
Not sure what you need yet? No problem: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will make suggestions. To start, send a quick message through our quote form.
Comparing your options
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a larger team. A food truck or trailer is its own kitchen, and needs a suitable spot, safe access and the venue’s agreement. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
Why us?
- Every guest catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included
- Fast service, even with a queue
- A plan agreed before the day
- A clear quote

Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.

Catering an event in Hordle
Hordle is about 3 miles west of Lymington, in Hampshire. Tell us where your event in Hordle will be, and we’ll plan access and set-up before the day. Hordle is one of 683 places in Hampshire where we can bring Mexican catering. We cater right across the region, from Hordle to Southampton (about 15 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Highcliffe Castle (4.4 miles west). Estates and historic houses tend to set their own rules for caterers, so find out what yours allows first. If you are celebrating after a service at a church like Church of All Saints, a truck or trailer parked at a hall or garden close by can serve the meal. Venues in and around the New Forest National Park, within about 5 miles of Hordle, sometimes limit where vehicles can go. Ask yours about access for a truck or trailer before you book. The coast is within about 4 miles of Hordle, 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 typically need permission from the council or landowner.
We cover events in every part of SO41 and the streets around it. We can cater an event on streets such as Yerville Gardens, Acacia Road and Woodlands.
