Mexican catering in Widley
Is Mexican catering right for your event?
Compared with a hog roast or barbecue, Mexican street food is easier for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, thanks to separate fillings and toppings. Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you can choose what you need.

How our Mexican catering works in Widley
We slow-cook the fillings ahead and finish them on site, and the salsas and guacamole are freshly made. We warm the tortillas as each order goes out. We serve quesadillas, burrito bowls and a build-your-own taco bar, which works well for wedding breakfasts and evening food and big birthday celebrations.
Somewhere like Widley, a field or garden is often the setting. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.
How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and serve without fuss. Around midsummer it stays light in Widley until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- Begin with the date, the place and the numbers.
- We come back with menu ideas and a quote.
- Nearer the date, we go over the final plan.
- We serve hot food from our food truck or trailer at the agreed time.
- We pack away when service is over.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Give us your final numbers and diets

Planning a food truck in Widley
Widley is about 1 mile south-west of Purbrook, in Hampshire. Anywhere in PO7, we will come to your venue or site. We cater in all 683 towns and villages in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 16 miles away.
If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Purbrook Park School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser. If you are celebrating after a service at a church like Christ Church, a truck or trailer parked at a hall or garden close by can serve the meal. The coast is within about 6 miles of Widley, 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 normally need permission from the council or landowner.
Anywhere in PO7 and PO6, we can bring Mexican catering to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Your event could be at a home on Lily Avenue, Park Avenue and Hoylake Road or the roads around them. Other places close to Widley for Mexican catering include Purbrook Heath (1 mile north), Drayton (1 mile south), Farlington (1 mile south-east), Purbrook (1 mile north-east) and Cosham (1 mile south-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Gosport (6 miles south-west), Havant (3 miles east), Eastleigh (15 miles north-west), Fareham (6 miles west), Horndean (4 miles north-east) and Hedge End (12 miles west).

Widley questions
We’re having a ceremony at Christ Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you cater at coastal events near Widley?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades normally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
How much space 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 picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Who clears up?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we will go through the licensing with you and your venue.
How much is a food truck for an event?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
Are plates and napkins included?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a photo of the access and the space.
Planning for every diet
We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
- Mention any other caterers or courses
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
We work around your timings, and adapt if they move.
Loaded nachos make a good sharing starter or as a late snack.
