How it compares
Sit-down meals need a kitchen, tables and more staff. Our truck or trailer brings its own kitchen, and needs a suitable spot, safe access and the venue’s agreement. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Mexican catering for your event in Thedden
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, and the salsas and guacamole are freshly made. Tortillas are warmed as we serve. It suits festivals, fairs and markets and retirement and leaving parties, serving a build-your-own taco bar, tacos and loaded nachos.
In a rural place like Thedden, access is the main thing to plan: the gate, the ground and the route from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Mexican catering around Thedden
Thedden is about 2 miles west of Alton, in Hampshire. Whether your event is in the middle of Thedden or on the outskirts, Mexican catering works the same way: fresh service from our truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. Thedden is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire where we can bring Mexican catering. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Thedden to Guildford (about 21 miles away).
When the service is at a church such as St Peter's, the food typically happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck. If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Amery Hill School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser.
