Mexican catering in Northney, from our truck or trailer
Every menu is agreed with you, with fillings such as slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, and vegan options like spiced mushrooms or black beans. Popular choices include tacos, quesadillas and burritos, and it’s a good fit for engagement and anniversary parties and garden parties.
In a hamlet or village like Northney, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Common questions in Northney
Do you cater in villages like Northney?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Could you come to a seaside event near Northney?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades generally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
How does your Mexican catering work?
Our truck or trailer is a mobile kitchen. We set up at your venue, serve hot food to order and pack down afterwards.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll recommend how to serve.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Do you cook on site?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Do you do parties at home?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
Popular choices
Quesadillas
Quesadillas are simple and comforting, and they go down well with children.
Tacos
Warm tortillas with a choice of fillings, topped with salsa and fresh toppings. Fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushrooms are agreed with you.
Planners, venues and businesses
Throwing a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about access, and we’ll let you know if it’s a good fit.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
Allergen information is on hand for every dish, so guests can check before they order.
Ask us about plates, cutlery and serving staff and we’ll set out what we can do in your quote.
Northney: venues, access and local tips
Northney is about 3 miles south-east of Havant, in Hampshire. We serve at events in homes, gardens and venues in Northney and the surrounding area. We serve in all 683 towns and villages in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. We cater right across the region, from Northney to Southampton (20 miles away).
Parents planning a fundraiser at a school like Warblington School might find a Mexican street-food truck draws families in. Nearby historic houses include Warblington Castle (1.1 miles north). Estates and historic houses tend to set their own rules for caterers, so find out what yours allows first. The coast is within about 4 miles of Northney, so for a seaside event we plan around the wind. The truck or trailer needs firm ground rather than sand or shingle, and seafront spots generally need permission from the council or landowner.
Wherever your event is in PO11, we can bring Mexican catering to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Streets in the area include Northney Lane, Spinnaker Grange and Northney Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. For events just outside Northney, we cover North Hayling (1 mile south), Warblington (1 mile north), Tye (1 mile south), Stoke (1 mile south-west) and Langstone (1 mile north-west). Larger places within reach include Gosport (8 miles west), Havant (3 miles north-west), Fareham (10 miles west), Horndean (6 miles north), Waterlooville (5 miles north-west) and Petersfield (12 miles north).
Nearby you’ll also find Havant Museum (1.7 miles north-west) and Havant War Memorial Hospital (2.1 miles north-west). Not far away are Hayling Billy.
- Local pubs include The Ship Inn (1 mile north-west)
Is Mexican catering right for your event?
Cold buffets are easy, but the food sits out. Tacos and burritos are made to order and served hot. Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and serve without fuss. In Northney, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 4:00pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- Begin with the date, the place and the numbers.
- 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 are done, we pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
