About our Mexican catering in Oliver's Battery
Every menu is agreed with you, so fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, alongside vegan choices such as black beans or spiced mushrooms. We serve quesadillas, tacos and loaded nachos, and it’s a good fit for fundraisers and school events and weddings, day or evening.
For a rural spot like Oliver's Battery, fields and drives need a little planning: the gate, the ground and the route from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
Should I do it myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Planning a food truck in Oliver's Battery
Oliver's Battery is about 2 miles south-west of Winchester, in Hampshire. From the centre of Oliver's Battery to the outskirts, we offer the same service: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. Oliver's Battery is one of 683 places in Hampshire where we can bring Mexican catering. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Oliver's Battery to Southampton (9 miles away).
The A3090 run on or near Oliver's Battery, so the drive in with the truck or trailer is a simple one. A gathering in St. Cross Park would need the park owner’s say-so for any catering vehicle, and that is worth sorting out early.

How it works
Once service is over, we pack up and leave our area tidy. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. Around midsummer it stays light in Oliver's Battery until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- Send us your date, numbers and venue.
- Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
- We check the route in and where the truck or trailer will stand.
- Guests order at the hatch or build their own at the taco bar.
- After the last serving, we clear our area.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
