About our Mexican catering in Itchen Abbas
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Larger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case, so let us know how many you expect. It suits weddings and evening receptions and engagement and anniversary parties, with quesadillas, burrito bowls and tacos.
Somewhere as small as Itchen Abbas, a garden or field is often the venue. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we will plan for them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

FAQs for Itchen Abbas
Which station is closest to Itchen Abbas?
Guests can use Winchester station, about 4.2 miles south-west of Itchen Abbas.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St John the Baptist?
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 will check the access.
What about power on site?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Our truck and trailer service normally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
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’ll talk licensing through with you.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will suggest mild options.
What can we choose from?
Tacos, build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. See our sample menu.
Is Mexican catering right for your event?
A cold buffet is simple but tends to sit out for hours. Tacos and burritos are made to order and served hot. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
Why us?
- Fast service, even with a queue
- Access, space and power checked in advance
- Quoted for your event
- A truck or trailer that comes to you
