Parents planning a fundraiser at a school like Lymington Church of England Infant School might find a Mexican street-food truck draws families in. For a christening or wedding at a church such as United Reform Church, a food truck at a garden or venue nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. Venues in and around the New Forest National Park, within about 5 miles of Walhampton, sometimes limit where vehicles can go. Ask yours about access for a truck or trailer before you book. The coast is within about a mile of Walhampton, so for a seaside event we plan around the wind. The truck or trailer needs firm ground rather than sand or shingle, and seafront spots typically need permission from the council or landowner.

About our Mexican catering in Walhampton
With mobile Mexican catering, we bring the kitchen with us: we park our food truck or trailer on site and serve hot food from it. You do not need a kitchen at the venue. We serve fresh salsas and guacamole, tacos and quesadillas, which works well for markets and community events and christenings and family parties.
In a hamlet or village like Walhampton, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
For planners, venues and organisers
Hosting a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about access, and we will tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
Planning for every diet
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Include at least one vegan filling
- Put any allergies in writing for us
Rain doesn’t stop us serving from the truck or trailer, though guests need somewhere under cover to eat.
Loaded nachos make a good sharing starter or as a late snack.

What Mexican catering costs
We will give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Distance and access to the venue
- Guest numbers
- How long we’re needed on site
Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.

- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field

DIY taco night versus a caterer
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 be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
FAQs for Walhampton
Can you cater a reception after a service at United Reform Church?
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.
Do you cater in the New Forest National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a photo and we’ll talk it through.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not typically stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Do you have dairy-free options?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
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. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
How long do you serve for?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
What are your prices?
We don’t publish set prices, because every event is different. Tell us your numbers and plans and we will send a quote for your event.
