Mexican catering in Parkhurst, served fresh
The menu starts with tacos: warmed tortillas, a choice of fillings, and salsas, guacamole and toppings to finish. We can add burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. At leaving dos and retirement parties and charity and school events, we can serve tacos, burritos and fresh salsas and guacamole for your guests.
In a small place like Parkhurst, events are usually in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

FAQs for Parkhurst
Is it possible to have you in Seaclose Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Do you cater at coastal events near Parkhurst?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Seafront and beach spots usually need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Can we add a bar?
You can add our drinks bar, with bar staff serving margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. Alcohol needs the right licence, so we’ll check that with you.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll suggest the best set-up.
How does mobile Mexican catering work?
Our truck or trailer is a mobile kitchen. We set up, serve your guests and clear away when service ends.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
What are your prices?
There is no fixed price list, as each event is different. Send your details and you’ll get a quote for your event.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Planning the serving area
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- A spot for a taco-bar serving table
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
For somewhere as remote as Parkhurst, early notice helps us plan the trip, the route in and power.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

Planning for every diet
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Tell us how many children are coming
We have allergen information for every dish at the hatch, so guests can check before they order.

The menu, item by item
Burritos and burrito bowls
Rice, beans, a filling and toppings rolled in a large tortilla, or served as a bowl instead.
Loaded nachos
Nachos are easy sharing food, whether as a starter or a late bite. We can plan a dairy-free version.
The process
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. Around midsummer it stays light in Parkhurst until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Start by telling us about your event.
- We suggest fillings and extras and send a quote.
- We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- We arrive, set up and serve from the hatch.
- Once service ends, we clear away.
How to prepare
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
