Woolston: venues, access and local tips
Woolston is about 2 miles south-east of Southampton, in Southampton. Wherever your event is in the SO19 area, we can serve your guests, as long as there’s access. We cater in all 40 towns and villages across Southampton, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.
Around Woolston, historic houses include Medieval Merchant's House (1.3 miles west) and Southampton Tudor House and Garden (1.4 miles west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and vehicles early. Before you pencil in Westwood Woodland Park, find out who manages it: driving a truck onto parkland and selling food there both need their agreement. With the New Forest National Park about 7 miles away at most, a rural setting is never far from Woolston. Country lanes there can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in. Coastal events near Woolston, which is within about 2 miles of the sea, bring wind and sand into the planning. Tell us exactly where you’d like us and we will check access.
Anywhere in SO19 and SO14, we can bring Mexican catering to you. Whether your event is on Oak Road, Lake Road and Glen Road or anywhere nearby, we’ll plan where to park and serve.

Mexican catering for your event in Woolston
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. Popular choices include fresh salsas and guacamole, loaded nachos and burritos, and it’s a good fit for birthday parties and engagement celebrations.
A place like Woolston may have a hall or a club with a car park nearby; any can work, given permission and level ground to park on. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Common questions in Woolston
How far is Woolston from London?
Roughly 70 miles from the centre of London.
Could you serve in Westwood Woodland Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
What are your prices?
We don’t publish set prices, because every event is different. Send your details and you’ll get a quote for your event.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
That’s confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
How long are you on site?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
What access do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Do you cater in Woolston?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Woolston and the rest of Southampton. To check your date, send a quick message through our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

Guacamole and salsas, freshly made, with lime and fresh toppings.

- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.

What else we do in Woolston
The process
Here’s how the day usually runs: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. In Woolston, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 4:00pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- Send us your date, numbers and venue.
- We plan a menu that covers every diet.
- We confirm the way in and where we’ll park.
- Food is served from the hatch or a taco-bar table.
- We clear our serving area when everyone is fed.
Preparing for the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Give us a contact for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
How to get a price
Send us the date, your venue or SO19 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and you’ll get menu ideas and a price. To get started, tell us about it on our contact page.
