Mexican catering in Matchams, from our truck or trailer
Tacos are the heart of the menu: warmed tortillas, a choice of fillings, and salsas, guacamole and toppings to finish. We can add burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. It works well for school fairs and fundraisers and big birthday celebrations, serving quesadillas, tacos and burritos.
Somewhere like Matchams, a field or garden is often the setting. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
Matchams: venues, access and local tips
Matchams is in Hampshire. For Mexican catering in Matchams, we can serve in gardens, fields, venues, car parks and courtyards with access in and around Matchams. Matchams is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 20 miles away.
Parks such as Avon Heath Country Park usually need the owner’s permission for vehicles and catering, so ask before you plan an event there. The New Forest National Park is within about 6 miles of Matchams, with country venues and gardens that can suit a food truck. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about vehicles and catering, so check with yours.
We cater events across BH24. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Maple Walk, Ash Tree Close and Sycamore Way or the roads around them. If your venue is just outside Matchams, we also cover Avon Castle (1 mile north-east), St Ives (1 mile north), St Leonards (1 mile north-west) and Ashley Heath (2 miles north-west). We also cater in nearby towns such as Totton (15 miles north-east), Lymington (12 miles east), New Milton (8 miles south-east), Ringwood (3 miles north-east), Barton on Sea (8 miles south-east) and Ashley (9 miles south-east).
A little further out are St Leonard's Hospital (1.7 miles west). The countryside around Matchams includes St Catherine's Hill and Blashford Lakes.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Common questions in Matchams
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues 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.
Do you come out to small places like Matchams?
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.
Do you cater for vegetarians, vegans and gluten-free guests?
Diets are planned in advance, with options kept separate, though we can’t guarantee a kitchen with no trace of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us first.
Can we add a bar?
You can add our drinks bar, with bar staff serving margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. Alcohol needs the right licence, so we will check that with you.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
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’ll advise.
How many guests can you cater for?
Our service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Bigger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case.
What about power on site?
Let us know what’s available on site, for example a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
The process
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can enjoy your event. A December event in Matchams will be in the dark from about 4:05pm, 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.
- We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- We arrive, set up and serve from the hatch.
- We pack down after service and leave the area tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
How to get a price
The quickest way to a quote is to tell us about it on our contact page. Tell us about your event in Matchams, and we will put together a menu and price.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Ensure the menu has a vegan option
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
We arrive early enough to set up calmly. All we need is someone to show us the agreed spot.
A tray of loaded nachos works well to start.
