About our Mexican catering in Nursling
Every menu is agreed with you, with fillings such as slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, alongside vegan choices such as black beans or spiced mushrooms. At wedding breakfasts and evening food and leaving parties, we can serve fresh salsas and guacamole, tacos and loaded nachos and more.
There may be a hall or club near Nursling if your garden is small; a truck or trailer can work at any of them, with permission and a level spot. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Catering an event in Nursling
Nursling is about 2 miles north-east of Totton, in Southampton. Whether your event is in the middle of Nursling or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. We serve in 40 places across Southampton, from the larger towns to small villages.
A school such as Nursling Church of England Primary School running a summer fair or fundraiser could book a taco truck. Guests leaving a church like Lord's Hill Church after a christening could walk over to a nearby garden where the tacos are ready. With the New Forest National Park about 7 miles away at most, a rural setting is never far from Nursling. Country lanes there can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in. Coastal events near Nursling, which is within about 5 miles of the sea, bring wind and sand into the planning. Tell us exactly where you’d like us and we will check access.
This part of Southampton takes in SO16, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. Local streets include Station Road, Chambers Close and Cranmer Drive; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. If your venue is just outside Nursling, we also cover Hillyfields (1 mile south), Upton (1 mile north), Rownhams (1 mile north-east), Maybush (1 mile south-east) and Coxford (1 mile south-east). We also cater in nearby towns such as Southampton (4 miles south-east), Townhill Park (5 miles east), Midanbury (5 miles east), Thornhill (6 miles east), Chartwell Green (5 miles east) and Harefield (6 miles east).
Nearby you will also find Princess Anne Hospital (1.5 miles east) and Marlands Shopping Centre (3.7 miles south-east). Not far away are Testwood Lakes.
- Local schools include Oasis Academy Lord's Hill (0.5 miles east) and Oaklands Community School (0.6 miles east)
- Parks and local facilities nearby include Romsey Extra (2.9 miles north-west)
Planning the serving area
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

What Mexican catering costs
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance and access to the venue
- The number of people
- What the venue already provides
- What’s on the menu
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
Getting an accurate quote
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- The date and time of the event
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Roughly how many adults and children
Still deciding on the menu? No problem: give us the basics about your event, and we’ll make suggestions. To start, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
What’s on the menu
Quesadillas
Tortillas filled with melted cheese and a filling, toasted until crisp, cut into wedges.
Burritos and burrito bowls
Rice, beans, a filling and toppings rolled in a large tortilla, or the same served in a bowl.
Events we cater in Nursling
Every order goes out hot, rather than sitting out on a buffet table.
If you’re planning any of these, we can help:
- Garden get-togethers
- Weddings, day or evening
- Milestone birthdays
- Family celebrations
Thinking of an event in St James' Park? Public parks generally need the landowner’s permission for a food truck, so check first.
What to look for in a quote
- The deadline for final numbers

- Whether VAT is included
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.

Step by step
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain does not normally stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Winter evenings in Nursling close in by about 4:00pm, so choose a spot where guests can see what they’re ordering. At midsummer, the light holds until around 9:25pm.
- First, send us your date, venue, numbers and any diets we should know about.
- We put together a menu around your guests and quote for it.
- Before the day, we agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day, we set up and serve from the truck or trailer, or from a taco-bar station.
- When service ends, we pack down and clear our area.
Preparing for the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Let us know the timings for the day
Getting a price
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.

Common questions in Nursling
Can you cater a reception after a service at Lord's Hill Church?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Can you serve near the sea around Nursling?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Seafront and beach spots typically need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
How is the food prepared?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.

Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
