About our Mexican catering in Purbrook
We plan each menu with the client, with fillings such as slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, alongside vegan choices such as black beans or spiced mushrooms. For leaving dos and retirement parties and christenings and family parties, we can serve fresh salsas and guacamole, quesadillas and tacos.
A town like Purbrook gives you plenty of options: your own garden or drive, a club or hall with a car park, or a venue nearby. We will agree where we park beforehand. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
Dietary needs and planning tips
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
On the day, we arrive in good time to park up and get ready. All we need is someone to show us the agreed spot.
Loaded nachos make a good sharing starter or as a late snack.
What we need at the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- A spot for a taco-bar serving table
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Organising for someone else?
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.

Your questions about Mexican catering in Purbrook
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St John?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
What’s the nearest station to Purbrook for guests?
Guests can use Bedhampton station, about 1.9 miles south-east of Purbrook.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
What food do you serve?
Tacos, build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, loaded nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. See our sample menu.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. For alcohol, we’ll go through the licensing with you and your venue.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
What if it rains?
The truck or trailer serves in the rain, though guests need a covered place to eat.
Do you cater for vegetarians, vegans and gluten-free guests?
Diets are planned in advance, with options kept separate, but we cannot promise a kitchen without traces of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
