Mexican catering for Longstock events
About our Mexican catering in Longstock
Our truck and trailer service tends to suit around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case, so let us know how many you expect. For fairs and festivals and leaving parties, we can serve burritos, a build-your-own taco bar and quesadillas for your guests.
Somewhere as small as Longstock, a garden or field is often the venue. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we will plan for them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
Longstock questions
Do you cater in villages like Longstock?
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.
How far is Longstock from London?
It is about 65 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
What food do you serve?
Tacos and taco bars, plus burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. See our sample menu.
What access do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Do you need power and water?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. 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. Send us a picture and we’ll talk it through.
Do you have vegan options?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
Planning the serving area
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
Comparing your options
With a barbecue, someone usually ends up stuck at the grill. Book us and the cooking happens in our truck or trailer. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Your quote confirms the full price.
What you get with us
- Quoted for your event
- Quick, friendly service from the hatch
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- Everything served fresh from the hatch
See our prices page or the cost guide.
How the day works
On the day, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. Service starts at the time we have agreed, so everything runs to your schedule. Daylight in Longstock runs to about 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. If your event carries on later, tell us what lighting the venue has.
- Begin with the date, the place and the numbers.
- We come back with menu ideas and a quote.
- Nearer the date, we go over the final plan.
- At the agreed time, service starts from the truck or trailer.
- We pack away when service is over.
How to prepare

Catering an event in Longstock
Longstock is about 5 miles south of Andover, in Hampshire. Give us the address of your event in Longstock, and we’ll plan the journey and set-up before the day. We cater in 683 places in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater right across the region, from Longstock to Southampton (15 miles away).
If you are organising a summer fair for a school like Test Valley 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.
