Planning the serving area
If a space is not suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

Mexican catering in Shobley, from our truck or trailer
We bring our truck or trailer to events in and around Shobley: gardens, fields, yards and venues with hardstanding, as long as there’s safe access. On the menu are burritos, burrito bowls and fresh salsas and guacamole, and it is a good fit for staff parties and office lunches and weddings and evening receptions.
In a small place like Shobley, events are usually in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we will plan for them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.
Is Mexican catering right for your event?
For food that feels relaxed but generous, tacos, burritos and nachos make a strong choice. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.

Common questions in Shobley
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Will you travel to a small place like Shobley?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Is the food made fresh?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can you plan for allergies?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
What is mobile Mexican catering?
Our food truck or trailer is a mobile kitchen. We set up at your venue, serve hot food to order and pack down afterwards.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Can you serve in bad weather?
We can still serve in the rain. Have somewhere covered ready for guests.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, Hampshire included. See all areas.

Diets, allergies and planning
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Put any allergies in writing for us
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
Once everyone has eaten, we tidy up and pack away.
Burrito bowls suit guests who’d rather skip the tortilla, and they’re easy to adapt for different diets.
What happens on the day
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. Winter evenings in Shobley close in by about 4:05pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:25pm.
- First, send us a few details about your event.
- You get a sample menu and 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.
- Once service ends, we clear away.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Give us your final numbers and diets
