Mexican catering for Lyndhurst events
Your questions about Mexican catering in Lyndhurst
What’s the nearest station to Lyndhurst for guests?
Ashurst New Forest station, about 2.4 miles north-east of the centre.
Do you come to events in the New Forest National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Are plates and napkins included?
That’s confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we will talk it through.
How much will it cost?
We don’t publish set prices, because every event is different. Tell us your numbers and plans and we will send a quote for your event.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we will keep their options separate.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Let us know your numbers and space and we will suggest the best set-up.
How our Mexican catering works in Lyndhurst
Few things get guests chatting like a build-your-own taco bar. Guests fill their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, so each plate is exactly how they like it. On the menu are a build-your-own taco bar, tacos and burritos, which works well for garden parties and christenings and family parties.
In a smaller place like Lyndhurst, your own garden, drive or a local hall is often the simplest option: no venue hire, and nobody stuck in the kitchen. Tell us about access down the lane or drive. We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.
How we price Mexican catering
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Staff for serving and the bar
What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Your date and when you want service to start
- What power and water the site has
- Roughly how many adults and children
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: venue, timings, menu ideas and access. To send your details, use our quote form.
Planning the serving area
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- A spot for a taco-bar serving table
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
- 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 before you book.

Organising for someone else?
Organising a club, school or community event in Lyndhurst? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Step by step
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A photo of the space helps. Winter evenings in Lyndhurst close in by about 4:00pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Start by telling us about your event.
- We suggest fillings and extras and send a quote.
- Access, the serving spot, power and water are agreed in advance.
- On the day we park up, set up and serve hot food to order.
- Once service ends, we clear away.
Before we arrive
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will send you a clear quote and a suggested menu.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Occasions we cater for in Lyndhurst
Every order goes out hot, instead of waiting on a buffet.
These are some of the occasions we serve:
- Fundraisers and school events
- Christenings and family parties
- Summer garden parties
- Anniversaries and engagements
If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like St Michael and All Angels CofE Infant School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser.
Questions to ask before you book
- When payment is due
- How long the service runs
- The deadline for final numbers
- VAT, if it applies
Diets, allergies and planning
Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included. To get it right:
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Count children separately
- Mention any other caterers or courses
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
For a taco bar, we lay the fillings, salsas and toppings out on a table, and guests help themselves.
Tell us if you need plates, cutlery or serving staff and we will confirm what’s possible with your quote.
