Planning a food truck in Roughdown
Roughdown is about 3 miles south of Hythe, in Hampshire. Wherever your event is in the SO45 area, we will come to your venue or site. Roughdown is one of 683 places in Hampshire where we can bring Mexican catering. We cater right across the region, from Roughdown to Southampton (about 7 miles away).
If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Blackfield Primary School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser. If people are travelling in by rail, Netley station is about 4.3 miles away. With the New Forest National Park about 3 miles away at most, a rural setting is never far from Roughdown. Country lanes there can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in. The coast is within about 5 miles of Roughdown, so for a seaside event we plan around the wind. The truck or trailer needs firm ground rather than sand or shingle, and seafront spots typically need permission from the council or landowner.
Anywhere in SO45, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Holbury (1 mile north), Blackfield (1 mile east), Little Holbury (1 mile north), Langley (1 mile south-east) and Hardley (1 mile north). Larger places within reach include Gosport (10 miles east), Eastleigh (10 miles north), Fareham (9 miles east), Totton (9 miles north-west), Chandler's Ford (11 miles north) and Hedge End (8 miles north-east).
Well-known places in the area include Beaulieu Abbey And Display Of Monastic Life (2.9 miles west) and Calshot Castle (3.5 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Mercury Marshes.
- Local schools include The New Forest Academy (1.2 miles north)
Mexican catering in Roughdown, from our truck or trailer
With mobile Mexican catering, we bring the kitchen with us: we park our food truck or trailer on site and serve hot food from it. No kitchen is needed on site. It suits weddings and evening receptions and garden parties, serving fresh salsas and guacamole, quesadillas and burritos.
Somewhere as small as Roughdown, a garden or field is often the venue. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- What’s on the menu
- Distance and access to the venue
- The length of service
- Whether you need disposables
Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- What you’d like on the menu
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. When you’re ready, tell us about it on our contact page.
Planning for every diet
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
If timings change on the day, tell us and we’ll adjust.
A tray of loaded nachos works well to start.
Who books Mexican catering in Roughdown?
Every order goes out hot, rather than sitting out on a buffet table.
If you’re planning any of these, we can help:
- Anniversaries and engagements
- Charity and school events
- Office lunches and team days
- Festivals, fairs and markets
When the service is at a church such as The Good Shepherd, the food generally happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck.
What to look for in a quote
- How many staff are serving, and for how long
- Any travel, parking or access charges
- How late numbers can change
- What the price includes, item by item

How the day works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you are ready, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. Evenings in Roughdown stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm. For anything running past sunset, think about lights near the hatch.

- Together we plan a menu around your guests’ diets.
- We check the route in and where the truck or trailer will stand.
- Food is served from the hatch or a taco-bar table.

Which station should guests use for Roughdown?
The closest is Netley station, roughly 4.3 miles away.
We are having a ceremony at The Good Shepherd: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
What do you need at the venue?
Send us details of the venue and the access, and we will confirm what we need. Space for a queue and, if you choose one, a taco-bar table helps too.
Can you serve drinks as well?
We can. The drinks bar offers margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free drinks. We will go through the licensing with you.
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our 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 cater for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll suggest mild options.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
How much is a food truck for an event?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Send us the details for a quote.
