Common questions in St Leonards
Is it possible to have you in Avon Heath Country Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Could you serve our guests after a service at All Saints?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop service from the hatch. Have somewhere covered ready for guests.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will check 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.
Do you come to St Leonards?
We do. We serve at events in St Leonards and across Hampshire. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we will talk it through.
Where the truck can go in St Leonards
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- Space for guests to queue
- A spot for a taco-bar serving table
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.

- A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field

Catering for every guest
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Make sure the menu has a vegan option
- Let us know about any other food at the event
Once everyone has eaten, we tidy up and pack away quietly.
