Mexican catering for your event in Trotton
Few things get guests chatting like a build-your-own taco bar. Guests fill their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, so each plate is exactly how they like it. It works well for retirement and leaving parties and wedding breakfasts and evening food, serving a build-your-own taco bar, loaded nachos and fresh salsas and guacamole.
Somewhere like Trotton, a field or garden is often the setting. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.
Before you choose a spot
We will agree the spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.

Diets, allergies and planning
Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included. To get it right:
- Mention any other caterers or courses
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Make sure the menu has a vegan option
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
If you’ve chosen a taco bar, the fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests build their own.
A tray of loaded nachos works well to start.

Trotton: your questions answered
We are having a ceremony at St George's Church: can you cater afterwards?
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.
Do you come to events in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Do you need electricity?
Tell us what the site has, for example a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
How does your Mexican catering work?
We park our food truck or trailer at your venue and serve hot Mexican street food from it. A build-your-own taco bar is another option.
Do you cater for vegetarians, vegans and gluten-free guests?
Yes. There are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. We give allergen information for every dish.
Do you cover Trotton?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Trotton and the rest of Hampshire. To check your date, tell us about it on our contact page.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
