Mexican catering for Vernham Street events
Mexican catering in Vernham Street, from our truck or trailer
You can keep the menu short or make it a feast: a taco menu, or tacos plus loaded nachos, quesadillas and burrito bowls. Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can come from our drinks bar, with licensing checked with you. Popular choices include loaded nachos, tacos and burrito bowls, and it suits garden parties and weddings and evening receptions.
In a hamlet or village like Vernham Street, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.
Why choose Mexican catering in Vernham Street?
People like choosing their own toppings, and the taco bar gets them talking while they queue.
If you’re planning any of these, we can help:
- Family gatherings and christenings
- Garden get-togethers
- Birthday parties
- Festivals, fairs and markets
For a christening or wedding at a church such as Church of St Mary, a food truck at a garden or venue nearby is an easy way to feed everyone.

Step by step
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain doesn’t generally stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. In Vernham Street, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and how many.
- Expect a suggested menu and a quote.
- Nearer the date, we go over the final plan.
- At the agreed time, service starts from the truck or trailer.
- When you’re done, we pack away.

Planning help
Planning the serving area
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- Space for guests to queue
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Can I do a taco night myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Your questions about Mexican catering in Vernham Street
How far is Vernham Street from central London?
It is about 62 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes. The church itself is not 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.
Are plates and napkins included?
That’s confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we will talk it through.
Do you cook on site?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
What’s on the menu?
Every menu is agreed with you, with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria or spiced mushrooms. Take a look at the sample menu.
Do you cover Vernham Street?
Yes, we do. We serve at events in Vernham Street and across Hampshire. Send us your date to check availability.
How long do you serve for?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
Planning for every diet
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Tell us what other food is being served
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Check that your venue allows outside caterers and vehicles
We arrive early enough to set up calmly. All we need is someone to show us the agreed spot.
Tell us if you need plates, cutlery or serving staff and we will confirm what’s possible with your quote.
For event organisers in Vernham Street
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Prices and what affects them
We quote for your event, which reflects:
- The menu you choose
- Parking and the route in
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- The number of people
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- The date and rough timings
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- Roughly how many adults and children
- How we drive in and where we can park
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
