Mexican catering in Oakhanger
How our Mexican catering works in Oakhanger
The menu starts with tacos: warmed tortillas, a choice of fillings, and salsas, guacamole and toppings to finish. Burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas can sit alongside them. It works well for markets and community events and big birthday celebrations, serving burrito bowls, a build-your-own taco bar and burritos.
In a rural place like Oakhanger, access is the main thing to plan: the gate, the ground and the route from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer.
Catering for every guest
We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Put any allergies in writing for us
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
Food is served from the hatch, order by order, so everything goes out hot.
Loaded nachos make a good sharing starter or as a late snack.
How it compares
With a barbecue, someone typically ends up stuck at the grill. With us, the cooking happens in our food truck or trailer, so you can enjoy your event. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The length of service
- How many staff you need
- The menu you choose
- How many guests we’re serving
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- A photo of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- The venue or postcode
- The date and rough timings
- Any dietary needs and allergies
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. Contact us for a quote: just drop us a line using the enquiry form.

Common questions in Oakhanger
Do you come out to small places like Oakhanger?
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.
We are having a ceremony at St Mary Magdalene's Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Do you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer serves in the rain, though guests need a covered place to eat.
How does your Mexican catering work?
We bring our truck or trailer to your venue, cook to order and serve tacos, burritos and more from the hatch. A build-your-own taco bar is another option.
How big an event can you cater?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
Do you cater in Oakhanger?
Yes, we do. We serve at events in Oakhanger and across Hampshire. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
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.
What happens on the day
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Winter evenings in Oakhanger 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 9:20pm.
- It begins with the basics: your date, venue, guest numbers and dietary needs.
- You get a suggested menu, with fillings agreed with you, and a quote.
- Together we confirm where the truck or trailer will park, plus power and water.
- We arrive, set up and cook to order, with salsas and guacamole made fresh.
- After service, we clear away and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in

DIY taco night versus a caterer
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.
