Mexican catering for your event in Upper Swanmore
Tacos are the heart of the menu: warm tortillas with your choice of fillings, plus fresh salsas, guacamole and toppings. We can add burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. For charity and school events and markets and community events, we’ll put together a menu of burrito bowls, fresh salsas and guacamole and a build-your-own taco bar for your guests.
For a rural spot like Upper Swanmore, 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 arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
Planning the serving area
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.

Questions from Upper Swanmore
How far is Upper Swanmore from London?
It is about 60 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Barnabas: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
How many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
What about power on site?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
What access do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
What affects the price in Upper Swanmore
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Distance and access to the venue
- What the venue already provides
- Timings and hours
- The menu you choose
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 to tell us
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- The address or venue name
- Your date and when you want service to start
- What power and water the site has
- How we drive in and where we can park
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, use our quote form.
What’s on the menu
Tacos
Soft tortillas, warmed and filled, finished with salsas and toppings. Fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or spiced mushrooms are agreed with you.
Salsas and guacamole
Salsas and guacamole, made fresh for your event.
Planning for every diet
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Include at least one vegan filling
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Mention any other caterers or courses
We can still serve from the hatch if it rains, though guests need somewhere under cover to eat.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can be added from our drinks bar.
