Mexican catering in Monkwood, from our truck or trailer
Keep it simple or go further: tacos on their own, or tacos with burritos, nachos and quesadillas. Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can come from our drinks bar, with licensing checked with you. On the menu are fresh salsas and guacamole, tacos and burritos, which works well for engagement and anniversary parties and fundraisers and school events.
In a hamlet or village like Monkwood, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
Monkwood: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Monkwood?
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.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Monkwood Mission Church?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
How big an event can you cater?
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, including Monkwood.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
How spicy is the food?
That’s your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
Can you set up at our venue?
Send us details of the venue and the access, and we’ll check it works. We also need room for a queue.
Should I do it 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 enjoy the party, let us serve.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.

The process
We work to your timings. If things run behind, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. In Monkwood, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 4:00pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- It begins with the basics: your date, venue, guest numbers and dietary needs.
- We put together a menu around your guests and quote for it.
- We check access, power and water with you or the venue.
- We arrive, set up and cook to order, with salsas and guacamole made fresh.
- After service, we clear away and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
How to get a price
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.

Planning a food truck in Monkwood
Monkwood is about 6 miles south-west of Alton, in Hampshire. Across the SO24 area, we can serve your guests. We serve in all 683 towns and villages across Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 18 miles away.
When the service is at a church such as Monkwood Mission Church, the food generally happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck. The South Downs National Park is within about 7 miles of Monkwood, 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 serve at events all over SO24 and the streets around it. Whether your event is on Hill Farm Road, Flint Fields and Soame's Lane or a nearby road, we can bring Mexican catering there, given access. We also serve at events in Charlwood (1 mile north-east), West Tisted (1 mile south-west), Gilbert Street (1 mile north-west), Kitwood (2 miles north) and Ropley (2 miles north-west).

Where the truck can go in Monkwood
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.

Is Mexican catering right for your event?
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a larger team. A food truck or trailer is its own kitchen, so we need a suitable spot, access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
