FAQs for Thornhill
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Christopher?
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 will check the access.
Which station is closest to Thornhill?
Guests can use Sholing station, about 1.4 miles south-west of Thornhill.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire, including Thornhill.
What space do you need?
Tell us about the venue and the way in, and we’ll check it works. We also need room for a queue.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Bigger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Can we add a bar?
Yes. Our Mexican drinks bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Licensing is checked with you first.
Mexican catering in Thornhill, from our food truck or trailer
The menu starts with tacos: warmed tortillas, a choice of fillings, and salsas, guacamole and toppings to finish. We can add burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. It works well for markets and community events and weddings and evening receptions, serving fresh salsas and guacamole, burrito bowls and tacos.
Around Thornhill, events are often in gardens, fields, local halls or nearby venues. If access is tight or the ground is soft, we will plan around it. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Make sure the menu has a vegan option
- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
For a taco bar, we lay the fillings, salsas and toppings out on a table, and guests help themselves.
Ask about extra salsas and toppings for a bigger spread.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

Catering an event in Thornhill

By road, Thornhill is on or near the A334, which makes it easy for us to reach with the truck or trailer. Around Thornhill, historic houses include South Stoneham House (2.4 miles north-west) and Medieval Merchant's House (3 miles west). Estates and historic houses tend to set their own rules for caterers, so find out what yours allows first. Coastal events near Thornhill, which is within about 3 miles of the sea, bring wind and sand into the planning. Tell us exactly where you’d like us and we will check access.
Wherever your event is in SO19, SO18 and SO30, we can bring Mexican catering to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes.

We also cater in nearby towns such as Shirley (4 miles west), Regents Park (4 miles west), Maybush (5 miles west), Portswood (3 miles north-west), Coxford (5 miles west) and Freemantle (4 miles west). Being one of Southampton’s larger places, Thornhill has plenty of venues and spaces for events, though town-centre access for a truck or trailer needs planning.

What Mexican catering costs
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Parking and the route in
- The number of people
- Timings and hours
- What the venue already provides
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.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- The address or venue name
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- A picture of where we’d park
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.
Mexican catering or something else?
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a larger team. Our food truck or trailer brings its own kitchen, so we need a suitable spot, access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book. There is no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican catering. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.

What we need at the venue

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

How it works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Winter evenings in Thornhill close in by about 4:00pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:25pm.
- You tell us the date, the venue, rough guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- We put together a menu around your guests and quote for it.
- We check access, power and water with you or the venue.
- On the day, we set up and serve from the truck or trailer, or from a taco-bar station.
- Once everyone has eaten, we tidy our serving area and head off.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
