Mexican catering in Wherwell, from our food truck or trailer
A build-your-own taco bar is one of the most sociable ways to feed a crowd. Everyone builds their own tacos from what’s laid out, so nobody ends up with something they do not want. It works well for fairs and festivals and company summer parties, serving quesadillas, a build-your-own taco bar and burrito bowls.
For a rural spot like Wherwell, fields and drives need a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements with you. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Mexican catering or something else?
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a larger team. Our food truck or trailer brings its own kitchen, and needs a suitable spot, safe access and the venue’s agreement. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we’ll set out what’s included.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Wherwell: venues, access and local tips
Wherwell is about 3 miles south-east of Andover, in Hampshire. We cater events at gardens, halls and venues around Wherwell and nearby villages. We serve in all 683 towns and villages in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 17 miles away.
A school such as Wherwell Primary School running a summer fair or fundraiser could book a taco truck. Parks such as Longstock Park usually need the owner’s permission for vehicles and catering, so ask before you plan an event there.
We serve at events all over SP11 and the streets around it. Your event could be at a home on High Street, Fair Piece and Beech Grove or the roads around them. Close by, we cover events in Wherwell Wood (1 mile north-west), Cottonworth (1 mile south-west), Chilbolton (1 mile south), Fullerton (1 mile south-west) and South Harewood (1 mile north-east).

Diets, allergies and planning
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
For a taco bar, we lay the fillings, salsas and toppings out on a table, and guests help themselves.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas.
Your questions about Mexican catering in Wherwell
Is it possible to have you in Longstock Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Which station is closest to Wherwell?
The closest is Andover station, roughly 3.7 miles away.
Do you do a drinks bar?
We can. Our Mexican drinks bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Licensing is checked with you first.
How many guests can you cater for?
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you cook on site?
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.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
