Should I do it myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Mexican party catering for your party in Ampfield
Mexican street food suits birthdays, garden parties and all kinds of celebrations. Guests gather round the truck or trailer, and the food comes out hot. It works well for garden parties and anniversaries and engagement parties, with burritos, loaded nachos and tacos.
Country parties near Ampfield suit a food truck or trailer: served fresh from the hatch in a garden or field. Plan a gazebo for guests in case of rain. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Planning the serving area
Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Space for guests to queue
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
How we price Mexican party catering
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Timings and hours
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Whether you need disposables
- Food, drinks or both
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.
What we need to know
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Where the event is
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- The date and time of the event
- Your menu ideas
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. When you’re ready, send a quick message through our quote form.
How the day works
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. We’re ready to serve at the agreed time, so everything runs to your schedule. A summer party in Ampfield stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- Send us your date, address and numbers.
- You get a menu and a quote.
- We check access and arrive before your guests.
- Guests order at the hatch or build their own tacos.
- We clear our area when service ends.
How to prepare
- Ask the venue about power and water

FAQs for Ampfield
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mark?
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.
Which station is closest to Ampfield?
Guests can use Chandlers Ford station, about 2.5 miles south-east of Ampfield.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Do you have options for kids?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Are plates and napkins included?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will go through the licensing with you.
What access do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.

- Let the neighbours know
