How our Mexican party catering works in Itchen
Add our drinks bar for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with soft drinks and alcohol-free choices too. Licensing is checked with you first. It suits new-home celebrations and exam-results parties, serving guacamole and salsas, a build-your-own taco bar and burritos.
Around Itchen, 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. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Planning the serving area
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- A quick photo of the access helps us plan
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Catering for every guest
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:

Simple quesadillas for children.
Parties in Itchen: gardens, venues and local tips
Itchen is about 2 miles south-east of Southampton, in Southampton. From the centre of Itchen to the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh service from our truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We serve in 40 places in Southampton.
Friends travelling without a car may like to know that Itchen has its own station, Woolston station. Around Itchen, historic houses include Medieval Merchant's House (1.5 miles west) and Southampton Tudor House and Garden (1.5 miles 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. Itchen is within about 7 miles of the New Forest 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. The coast is within about 2 miles, but seafront spots need permission and firm ground for the truck or trailer.
We serve at parties all over the SO19 and SO14 postcode area. Local streets include Sea Road, Oak Road and West Road; for a party at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. Itchen is on the A3025, so it’s easy for us to reach with the truck or trailer. For parties just outside Itchen, we cover Peartree Green (1 mile north-west), Northam (1 mile north-west), Sholing (1 mile east), Bitterne (1 mile north-east) and St Mary's (1 mile west). Within a short drive, we also cover Shirley (3 miles north-west), Regents Park (3 miles west), Maybush (4 miles north-west), Coxford (4 miles north-west), Freemantle (3 miles west) and Lordswood (4 miles north-west). Being one of Southampton’s larger places, Itchen has lots of places to hold a party, though town-centre access for a truck or trailer needs planning.
Other landmarks nearby include Bitterne Local History Society Heritage And Research Centre (0.9 miles north) and Marlands Shopping Centre (1.6 miles west). Not far away are Netley Common.
- Schools near Itchen include Woolston School (within half a mile south) and Oasis Academy Sholing (0.6 miles north-east)
- Pubs nearby include The Engineers Arms (1 mile north-west)
Itchen questions
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Houndwell 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 will send what they need from us.
How far is Itchen from London?
It’s about 69 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you cater for special diets?
Vegetarian and vegan fillings are cooked and served separately, and every dish is labelled. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the party.
Is the food very hot?
It’s up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
What does Mexican party catering cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
When should I book?
The sooner the better, but it’s always worth asking. We’ll check availability for you.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a picture and we’ll talk it through.
For planners, venues and organisers
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
How it works
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A photo of the space helps. For a winter party in Itchen, it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, so plan lighting where guests queue and eat. At midsummer, sunset is about 9:25pm.
