Common questions in Southford
Will you travel to a small place like Southford?
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.
Which station is closest to Southford?
Guests can use Shanklin station, about 4.5 miles north-east of Southford.
Is the food very hot?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we’ll check the licensing with you and your venue.
Can you cater for special diets?
Diets are planned in advance, with options kept separate, but we can’t promise a kitchen without traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us first.
Is the food made fresh?
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 serve drinks as well?
Our drinks bar can be added to any booking, with bar staff serving margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. We will go through the licensing with you before the day.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
Mexican catering in Southford, from our food truck or trailer
Every menu is agreed with you, with fillings such as slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, and vegan options like spiced mushrooms or black beans. It works well for family gatherings and christenings and school fairs and fundraisers, serving a build-your-own taco bar, tacos and burritos.
Somewhere as small as Southford, a garden or field is often the venue. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.

How the day works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A photo of the space helps. Winter evenings in Southford close in by about 4:00pm, so choose a spot where guests can see what they’re ordering. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.

- Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
- Tacos and taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas
- Mexican drinks bar: margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas
