How our Mexican catering works in Lychpit
The menu starts with tacos: warmed tortillas, a choice of fillings, and salsas, guacamole and toppings to finish. We can add burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. It suits christenings and family parties and staff parties and office lunches, with quesadillas, a build-your-own taco bar and loaded nachos.
Somewhere like Lychpit, a field or garden is often the setting. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Count children separately
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
Rain does not stop us serving from the truck or trailer, though guests need somewhere under cover to eat.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas, and they’re easy to adapt for different diets.

The process
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and serve without fuss. Around midsummer it stays light in Lychpit until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and how many.
- Expect a suggested menu and a quote.
- Closer to the day, we confirm timings and arrangements.
- At the agreed time, service starts from the truck or trailer.
- When you’re done, we pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Find out what power and water are available
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers

What’s the nearest station to Lychpit for guests?
Guests can use Basingstoke station, about 1.6 miles west of Lychpit.

Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms, served alongside the meat options.
Do you cater for big events?
It depends on the event. As a guide, it’s around 50 to 400 guests; tell us your numbers and we will take it from there.
Can you keep it mild?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will talk it through.
Do you need power and water?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we will park.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.
