Mexican catering for your event in Knowle
Few things get guests chatting like a build-your-own taco bar. Guests fill their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, so nobody ends up with something they don’t want. For big birthday celebrations and staff parties and office lunches, we’ll put together a menu of tacos, burrito bowls and burritos and more.
For a rural spot like Knowle, fields and drives need a little planning: the gate, the ground and the route from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.

FAQs for Knowle
Which station should guests use for Knowle?
Fareham station, about 2 miles south of the centre.
Will you travel to a small place like Knowle?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
What do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground, access for the truck or trailer and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water when you book.
Do you need electricity?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Do you do parties at home?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
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, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Do you do a drinks bar?
Our drinks bar can be added to any booking, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. We will check the licensing with you before the day.
How spicy is the food?
That’s your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
What affects the price in Knowle

Getting an accurate quote
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- A picture of where we’d park
- The date and time of the event
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you need. To ask for one, tell us about it on our contact page.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
What we offer
- Burritos
- Loaded nachos
- Quesadillas
- Build-your-own taco bar

- Tell us how many children are coming

The process
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can enjoy your event. Around midsummer it stays light in Knowle until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- First, send us a few details about your event.
- We suggest fillings and extras and send a quote.
- We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day we park up, set up and serve hot food to order.
- We pack down after service and leave the area tidy.
How to prepare
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Give us your final numbers and diets
