Mexican catering for South Harting events
Mexican catering in South Harting, from our truck or trailer
Taco catering in South Harting is what we do best. Keep it simple or go further: a taco menu, or tacos plus loaded nachos, quesadillas and burrito bowls. Our Mexican drinks bar can be added too. At office lunches and team days and fundraisers and school events, we’ll put together a menu of a build-your-own taco bar, burrito bowls and burritos and more.
In a rural place like South Harting, access is the main thing to plan: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements with you. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
A closer look at the menu
Burritos and burrito bowls
Rice, beans, a filling and toppings rolled in a large tortilla, or the same served in a bowl.
Loaded nachos
Loaded nachos are perfect for sharing, whether as a starter or a late bite. We can plan a dairy-free version.
How we price Mexican catering
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- What the venue already provides
- Distance and access to the venue
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Food, drinks or both
Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so tell us what you have in mind. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- The venue or postcode
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- The date and time of the event

Organising for someone else?
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in South Harting? A truck or trailer serves a crowd quickly, with options for most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
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. Around midsummer it stays light in South Harting until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- Begin with the date, the place and the numbers.
- We come back with menu ideas and a quote.
- Nearer the date, we go over the final plan.
- We serve hot food from our food truck or trailer at the agreed time.
- We pack away when service is over.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Find out what power and water are available

Should I do it myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Common questions in South Harting

Guests can use Petersfield station, about 3.7 miles north-west of South Harting.
Do you come out to small places like South Harting?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.

Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we will suggest the best set-up.
Can you keep it mild?

Do you serve in the rain?
We serve from the truck or trailer whatever the weather, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
What’s on the menu?
We agree the menu with each client, with fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or black beans. The sample menu shows the options.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not generally stop service from the truck or trailer. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Before you choose a spot
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
