Stonehills: venues, access and local tips
Stonehills is about 4 miles south-east of Hythe, in Hampshire. Give us the address of your event in Stonehills, and we will plan access and set-up before the day. Stonehills is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire where we can bring Mexican catering. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 7 miles away.
Close to Stonehills are historic houses such as Beaulieu Palace House (4.6 miles west). Venues like these often limit where vehicles can go, so ask about access before you book one. Parents planning a fundraiser at a school like Fawley Infant School might find a Mexican street-food truck draws families in. The New Forest National Park is within about 5 miles of Stonehills, with country venues and gardens that can suit a food truck. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about vehicles and catering, so check with yours. With the sea within about 3 miles, a beach-side event might appeal. Promenades and beaches normally need permission, and the truck or trailer has to park on firm ground, not sand.
We serve at events all over SO45 and the streets around it. We can cater an event on streets such as Stonehills and Fawley Bypass. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Ashlett (1 mile north-east), Fawley (1 mile north-west), Sprat's Down (1 mile south), Calshot (1 mile south-east) and Blackfield (1 mile south-west). Larger places within reach include Gosport (8 miles east), Eastleigh (10 miles north), Fareham (7 miles east), Totton (10 miles north-west), Chandler's Ford (11 miles north) and Hedge End (7 miles north).
A little further out are Calshot Castle (1.6 miles east) and Coldeast (4.1 miles north-east). Green spaces nearby include Mercury Marshes.
- Schools near Stonehills include The New Forest Academy (2.1 miles north-west)
- Local pubs include Falcon Hotel (less than half a mile north-west)
Mexican catering in Stonehills, served fresh
Mexican street food makes mixed diets simple. We plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, and allergen information is available for every dish. Popular choices include burrito bowls, burritos and loaded nachos, which works well for leaving parties and garden parties.
For a rural spot like Stonehills, fields and drives need a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.
How we price Mexican catering
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Parking and the route in
- How long we’re needed on site
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Whether you need disposables
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- The address or venue name
- A photo of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- What you’d like on the menu
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
Organising for someone else?
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Your questions about Mexican catering in Stonehills
Can you serve near the sea around Stonehills?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades usually need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will suggest mild options.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
Do you cater for big events?
That depends on the event. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, but tell us your numbers and we will take it from there.
Are plates and napkins included?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we will keep their options separate.
Events we cater in Stonehills
You do not need a kitchen, so it works in gardens, fields and grounds without catering facilities.
Whatever the occasion, our truck or trailer can be the centre of it. We’re happy to cater:
- Garden parties
- Milestone birthdays
- Engagement celebrations
- Charity and school events
For guests coming by train, Hamble station is about 3.3 miles away.
Before you book anyone
- When final numbers are due
- How bad weather is handled
- How many staff are serving, and for how long
- Any travel, parking or access charges
Catering for every guest
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Put any allergies in writing for us
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Give us separate numbers for children
Guests order at the hatch and we serve them there and then, so it’s hot when it reaches them.
A tray of loaded nachos works well to start or as a late snack.
Is Mexican catering right for your event?
Platters dropped off in the morning are easy but forgettable. Hot food served from a truck feels like part of the event. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

What’s on the menu
Salsas and guacamole
Every taco needs salsa and guacamole.
Burritos and burrito bowls
A big flour tortilla wrapped round rice, beans, a filling and toppings, or the same served in a bowl.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.

How the day works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a photo of the space if you’re unsure. Evenings in Stonehills stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm. For anything running past sunset, think about lights near the hatch.

- We put together a menu around your guests and quote for it.
- Together we confirm where the truck or trailer will park, plus power and water.
- On the day, we set up and serve from the truck or trailer, or from a taco-bar station.
