About our Mexican catering in The Hummicks
Serving from a truck or trailer keeps the mood easy-going. Guests come up to the hatch, chat while they wait and take something hot back to their seats. At charity and school events and office lunches and team days, we’ll put together a menu of burrito bowls, fresh salsas and guacamole and tacos and more.
In a hamlet or village like The Hummicks, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Questions from The Hummicks
Do you come to events in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
