Mexican party catering for your party in Hounsdown
A truck or trailer can often park on a drive or in a garden, if there is level, firm ground and a way in that’s wide enough. Send us a picture if you’re unsure. It works well for birthday parties and big family gatherings, with tacos, loaded nachos and burritos.
Around Hounsdown, a garden and a gazebo is often all you need. A taco truck on the drive fits right in, with power and water agreed beforehand. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

How it works
When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. At midsummer, it is light in Hounsdown until about 9:25pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- It starts with your date, the address, numbers and diets.
- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- We confirm access, parking, power and water.
- On the day we set up and serve hot food at the time you choose.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Tell us what power and water the site has

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

Organising for someone else?
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
Mexican party catering or something else?
Compared with a barbecue, a food truck serves steadily from the start, and there’s no host stuck at the grill. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.

Your questions about Mexican party catering in Hounsdown
Can you cater a reception after a service at Colbury Christ Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
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.
How is the food prepared?
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 long do you serve for?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
Is Mexican food OK for kids?
Of course. Children typically enjoy quesadillas and simple tacos, and salsas go on the side. Include children in your numbers.
Can you cater for special diets?
Yes. We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
When should I book?
Early, especially for summer weekends. Check your date with us.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
