If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Questions from Barton on Sea
Do you cater in the New Forest National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Can you serve near the sea around Barton on Sea?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Seafront and beach spots generally need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
What can we have at the bar?
Margaritas and Mexican beer, with aguas frescas like horchata and agua de jamaica.
How long do you serve for?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
Is there something for non-drinkers?
There are always alcohol-free options, from aguas frescas to soft drinks.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
Is the food made fresh?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
How much does the drinks bar cost?
Every bar is quoted for individually, based on numbers, drinks and hours. For a price, tell us about it on our contact page.
