About our Mexican catering in Wickham Common
Our truck or trailer travels to events across Wickham Common and nearby: gardens, fields, yards and venues with hardstanding. For leaving parties and garden parties, we’ll put together a menu of quesadillas, tacos and loaded nachos and more.
In a small place like Wickham Common, events are typically in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we will plan for them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
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.
The process
Your timings come first. If things run behind, let us know and we will adjust where we can. A December event in Wickham Common will be in the dark from about 4:00pm, so choose a spot where guests can see what they’re ordering. At midsummer, the light holds until around 9:20pm.
- First, send us a few details about your event.
- We suggest fillings and extras and send a quote.
- We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day we park up, set up and serve hot food to order.
- Once service ends, we clear away.
Before we arrive

What Mexican catering costs
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Guest numbers
- Staff for serving and the bar
- What the venue already provides
- What’s on the menu
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- A picture of where we’d park
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many adults and children
- How we drive in and where we can park

Common questions in Wickham Common
Will you travel to a small place like Wickham Common?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Which station is closest to Wickham Common?
Guests can use Fareham station, about 2.8 miles south of Wickham Common.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
What access do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Is the food suitable for children?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Comparing your options
Sit-down meals need a kitchen, tables and more staff. A food truck or trailer is its own kitchen, so we need a suitable spot, access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book. Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
