About our Mexican catering in Ringwood
Our truck and trailer service tends to suit around 50 to 400 guests. Larger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case, so tell us your numbers. At weddings and evening receptions and garden parties, we will put together a menu of burrito bowls, fresh salsas and guacamole and quesadillas for your guests.
There may be a hall or club near Ringwood if your garden is small; a truck or trailer can work at any of them, with permission and a level spot. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer.
Planners, venues and businesses
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Ringwood? A truck or trailer serves a crowd quickly, with options for most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.
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.
The process
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. In Ringwood, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 4:05pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- First, send us a few details about your event.
- We suggest fillings and extras and send a quote.
- We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day we park up, set up and serve hot food to order.
- We pack down after service and leave the area tidy.
How to prepare
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers

Questions from Ringwood
Could you serve in Avon Heath Country Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Trinity Congregational 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.
Where do you cater?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Can you set up at our venue?
Level, firm ground, access for the truck or trailer and the venue’s agreement. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will include them in the plan.
How much is a food truck for an event?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually need. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a quote.
Is Mexican catering right for your event?
For food that feels relaxed but generous, tacos, burritos and nachos make a strong choice for your event in Ringwood. Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Your quote confirms the full price.

Events we cater in Ringwood
There is no kitchen needed at the venue, so gardens, fields and outdoor venues are all possible.
A truck or trailer suits almost any gathering. People in Ringwood can book us for events such as:
- School fairs and fundraisers
- Wedding breakfasts and evening food
- Family celebrations
- Fairs and festivals
A school such as Ringwood School running a summer fair or fundraiser could book a taco truck.
Questions to ask before booking
- How bad weather is handled
- The deadline for final numbers
- Whether plates, napkins and cutlery are included
- If the price includes VAT
Should I do it myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Give us separate numbers for children
We can still serve from the hatch if it rains, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
Ask us about plates, cutlery and serving staff and we will confirm what’s possible with your quote.
