Taco catering in Hound: local tips
Hound is about 3 miles east of Hythe, in Hampshire. Across the SO31 area, we’ll come to your venue or site, as long as there is access. Hound is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire where we can bring Mexican catering.
If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like The Hamble School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser. When the service is at a church such as Church of St Mary, the food generally happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck. The New Forest National Park is within about 7 miles of Hound, 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. Coastal events near Hound, which is within about 2 miles of the sea, bring wind and sand into the planning. Tell us exactly where you’d like us and we will check access.

Mexican catering or something else?
Pizza and burger vans are familiar choices. Mexican street food stands out, yet it is still food most guests know and like. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.

Your questions about Mexican catering in Hound
Do you cater at coastal events near Hound?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Mary: 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.
Is the food very hot?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll go through the licensing with you.
How much will it cost?
We quote for each event, depending on numbers, menu, venue and timings. For a price, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
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. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
We have allergen information for every dish at the hatch, so guests can check before they order.
Extra salsas and toppings can widen the choice.
