How our Mexican catering works in Wickham
Our truck and trailer service tends to suit around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case, so let us know how many you expect. Popular choices include quesadillas, tacos and loaded nachos, which works well for christenings and family parties and fundraisers and school events.
There may be a hall or club near Wickham if your garden is small; a truck or trailer can work at any of them, with permission and a level spot. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
What’s on the menu
Build-your-own taco bar
The taco bar keeps things sociable, and guests with different diets can choose what suits them.
Tacos
Tacos are the classic street food of Mexico. We serve them with salsas and toppings, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.

Other catering in Wickham
Mexican catering or something else?
Compared with a hog roast or barbecue, tacos make vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to cater for, thanks to separate fillings and toppings. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.

Should I do it myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
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. Read our guide to taco bars.
FAQs for Wickham
Is Wickham close to London?
It’s about 63 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Nicholas?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Who clears up?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll talk it through.
Do you cater in Wickham?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Wickham is within our area and the rest of Hampshire. To check your date, use our quote form.
Can you set up at our venue?
We need level, firm ground or hardstanding, access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water when you book.
Do you cater for big events?
Our service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case.
How much is a food truck for an event?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
What we need at the venue
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

How it works
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. We are ready to serve at the agreed time, so everything runs to your schedule. Around midsummer it stays light in Wickham until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- It begins with the basics: your date, venue, guest numbers and dietary needs.
- We put together a menu around your guests and quote for it.
- Before the day, we agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day, we set up and serve from the truck or trailer, or from a taco-bar station.
- Once everyone has eaten, we tidy our serving area and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
How to get a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Planning help
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
We arrive early enough to set up calmly. Someone from the venue just needs to point us to the agreed spot.
Ask about extra salsas and toppings for a bigger spread.
