Mexican catering for your event in Rownhams
A build-your-own taco bar is one of the most sociable ways to feed a crowd. Everyone builds their own tacos from what’s laid out, so each plate is exactly how they like it. For birthday parties and leaving parties, we will put together a menu of burrito bowls, tacos and a build-your-own taco bar.
For a place the size of Rownhams, your own garden or drive is often the best venue: no venue to hire and no cooking for you. Let us know about the route to the house. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.

Other catering in Rownhams
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Before you choose a spot
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
Questions from Rownhams
Can you bring your truck or trailer to St James' Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St John?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you come to Rownhams?
Yes, we do. Rownhams is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
How many guests can you serve?
Our truck and trailer service normally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a photo and we’ll talk it through.
Can you serve drinks as well?
Our drinks bar can be added to any booking, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol needs the right licence, so we will check that with you.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so get in touch early.
The menu, item by item
Quesadillas
A quesadilla is an easy favourite, and they go down well with children.
Loaded nachos
Tortilla chips piled with cheese, a filling, salsa, guacamole and toppings.
How it compares
Compared with a hog roast or barbecue, Mexican street food is easier for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, thanks to separate fillings and toppings. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Why us?
- Tacos, burritos and a drinks bar
- Set-up planned with you and your venue
- Quick, friendly service from the hatch
- Served fresh from our truck or trailer

Catering an event in Rownhams
Rownhams is about 3 miles north-east of Totton, in Southampton. Whether your event is in the middle of Rownhams or on the outskirts, Mexican catering works the same way: fresh service from our truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We cater in 40 places in Southampton, from the larger towns to small villages.
A gathering in St James' Park would need the park owner’s say-so for any catering vehicle, and that is worth sorting out early. Guests leaving a church like Church of St John after a christening could walk over to a nearby garden where the tacos are ready. Venues in and around the New Forest National Park, within about 8 miles of Rownhams, sometimes limit where vehicles can go. Ask yours about access for a truck or trailer before you book. With the sea within about 5 miles, a beach-side event might appeal. Promenades and beaches usually need permission, and the truck or trailer has to park on firm ground, not sand.
Anywhere in SO16, we can bring Mexican catering to you. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Rownhams Way, Horns Drove and Rownhams Close or the roads around them. We also serve at events in Upton (1 mile west), Nursling (1 mile south-west), Hillyfields (1 mile south-west), Lordswood (1 mile south-east) and Toothill (1 mile north-west). Further out, we also cater in Southampton (3 miles south-east), Townhill Park (4 miles east), Midanbury (4 miles east), Thornhill (6 miles south-east), Chartwell Green (5 miles east) and Harefield (5 miles south-east).
A little further out are Marlands Shopping Centre (3.7 miles south-east) and Princess Anne Hospital (1.3 miles south-east). Green spaces nearby include Testwood Lakes.
- Nearby schools include Oasis Academy Lord's Hill (0.6 miles south) and Oaklands Community School (0.6 miles south)
- Other local spots include Romsey Extra (2.8 miles north-west)
Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Count children separately
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
When service ends, we pack down and clear our area, leaving the space as we found it.
Quesadillas go down well with children, because they’re simple.
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day usually runs: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. A December event in Rownhams will be in the dark from about 4:00pm, so choose a spot where guests can see what they’re ordering. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Begin with the date, the place and the numbers.
- Expect a suggested menu and a quote.
- Closer to the day, we confirm timings and arrangements.
- We serve hot food from our truck or trailer at the agreed time.
- When you’re done, we pack away.
How to prepare
- Find out what power and water are available
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
