Mexican catering in Woodlands, served fresh
Keep it simple or go further: tacos on their own, or tacos with burritos, nachos and quesadillas. Our Mexican drinks bar can be added too. On the menu are quesadillas, loaded nachos and burrito bowls, and it suits big birthday celebrations and leaving parties.
Somewhere like Woodlands, a field or garden is often the setting. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Planning a food truck in Woodlands
Woodlands is about 2 miles south-west of Totton, in Hampshire. Tell us where your event in Woodlands will be, and we will plan the journey and set-up. We serve in all 683 towns and villages across Hampshire, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 6 miles away.
If you are celebrating after a service at a church like Bartley Village Hall, a truck or trailer parked at a hall or garden close by can serve the meal. For a fête or sports day at a school such as Netley Marsh Church of England Infant School, hot food from a truck or trailer saves the volunteers from cooking. Woodlands is within about 3 miles of the New Forest National Park, with country venues and gardens that can suit a food truck. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about vehicles and catering, so check with yours.

Planning for every diet
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
On the day, we arrive in good time to park up and get ready. All we need is someone to show us the agreed spot.
Add our Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you.
Space, access and the venue
If a space isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- A route in that is wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.

Woodlands questions
We’re having a ceremony at Bartley Village Hall: can you cater afterwards?
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.
What’s the nearest station to Woodlands for guests?
Ashurst New Forest station, about 0.9 miles south-east of the centre.
Do you cater for big events?
That depends on the event. As a guide, it’s around 50 to 400 guests; tell us your numbers and we will take it from there.
What are your prices?
We do not publish set prices, because every event is different. Tell us your numbers and plans and we’ll send a quote for your event.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
Do you cater for vegetarians, vegans and gluten-free guests?
We can. We plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. We give allergen information for every dish.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
Can guests build their own tacos?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.

Step by step
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can spend time with your guests. In Woodlands, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, 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.
- Begin with the date, the place and the numbers.
- We come back with menu ideas and a quote.
- Closer to the day, we confirm timings and arrangements.
- At the agreed time, service starts from the truck or trailer.
- We pack away when service is over.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
