Mexican party catering in Forestside, from our food truck or trailer
Mexican street food suits birthdays, garden parties and all kinds of celebrations. Guests gather round the truck or trailer, and every plate goes out hot. At big birthdays and garden get-togethers, we’ll put together a menu of guacamole and salsas, quesadillas and tacos and more.
A country party near Forestside is a good fit for street food: parked up on firm ground and serving from the hatch. Plan a gazebo for guests in case of rain. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.
Hosting a taco party in Forestside
Forestside is about 4 miles east of Horndean, in Hampshire. We serve at parties in gardens, halls and venues around Forestside. Forestside is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Forestside to Southampton (21 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Uppark (3.2 miles north) and Warblington Castle (5 miles south-west). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on outside caterers and vehicles, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. Rail travellers will be glad to hear that Rowlands Castle station is about 2.2 miles away. Forestside is within about 5 miles of the South Downs National Park, so a garden party here may come with a lovely view. Country lanes can be narrow, so tell us about the route in.
We serve at parties all over PO9. Your party could be at a home on Lodge Lane and Forestside or the roads around them. If your venue is just outside Forestside, we also cover West Marden (1 mile north-east), Chalton (3 miles north-west), Blendworth (3 miles west), Buriton (5 miles north) and Nursted (5 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover Gosport (13 miles south-west), Havant (5 miles south-west), Fareham (13 miles west), Horndean (4 miles west), Waterlooville (6 miles west) and Petersfield (7 miles north).

How the day works
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. Guests come up to order when service opens. Sunset in Forestside ranges from about 9:20pm at midsummer to about 4:00pm in December, so autumn and winter parties need more thought about lighting.
- You tell us the date, the address, guest numbers and any diets.
- We put a menu together and quote for it.
- We check the space and access for the truck or trailer.
- On the day, we arrive, set up and start serving at the agreed time.
- After serving, we tidy up and leave you to celebrate.
How to prepare
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
How to get a price

Planning help
Can I do a taco night myself?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
What’s on the menu
Quesadillas
A good choice for children.
Loaded nachos
Nachos are a party favourite.
Organising for someone else?
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Forestside? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.
Where the truck can go in Forestside
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- A photo of the drive or garden helps us check the space
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Forestside questions
How far is Forestside from London?
About 54 miles from central London, and we cover it.
Could you serve in Stansted 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.
How much does party catering cost?
We quote for each party, based on numbers, the menu and the location. Contact us for a quote.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
What’s on the menu?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Do you have dairy-free options?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Hampshire included. Find your area.
Do you do a taco bar?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
What Mexican party catering costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- Timings and hours
- Parking and the route in
- Food, drinks or both
- Staff for serving and the bar
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican party catering. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
