Mexican party catering for Sholing events
How the day works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain does not typically stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. A party in Sholing in late May has daylight until about 8:55pm. Once dusk falls, some garden lighting by the truck makes ordering easier.
- Send us your date, where the party is, numbers and dietary needs.
- You get a sample menu and a quote for your party.
- We confirm access, parking, power and water.
- On the day we set up and serve hot food at the time you choose.
- We pack down after service so the party can carry on.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
Getting a price
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.

About our Mexican party catering in Sholing
Mexican street food is made for relaxed parties: easy to eat while you mingle and there is no need for a seating plan. It suits housewarming parties and christenings and naming days, serving a build-your-own taco bar, tacos and burritos.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Catering for every guest
We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests. To get it right:
- Give the neighbours a heads-up
- Have cover ready for a shower
- Measure your gate or driveway
- Ensure most people can sit to eat
Allergen information is available for every dish.

Planning a party in Sholing
Sholing is about 2 miles south-east of Southampton, in Southampton. Whether your party is in the middle of Sholing or on the outskirts, Mexican party catering works the same way: fresh service from our truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. Sholing is one of 40 places in Southampton we cover.
Once the service at a church like Church of St Mary is over, the party can move somewhere with space for the truck and a queue. For guests coming by train, Sholing station is about 0.5 miles away. For a party in the countryside, the New Forest National Park is within about 8 miles. Rural gardens and fields work well for a truck, given firm ground and a way in. Near the coast, within about 2 miles, a beach-side party is tempting, but seafront spots need permission and firm ground for the truck or trailer.
Anywhere in SO19, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests. Streets in the area include Bay Road, Ashby Road and Loane Road, and a party on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. You’ll find Sholing on the A3025, which makes it straightforward to bring the truck or trailer. Other places close to Sholing for Mexican party catering include Itchen (1 mile west), Thornhill (1 mile north-east), Bitterne (1 mile north), Peartree Green (1 mile west) and Northam (1 mile north-west). We also cater in nearby towns such as Shirley (4 miles north-west), Regents Park (4 miles west), Maybush (5 miles north-west), Coxford (4 miles north-west), Freemantle (3 miles west) and Lordswood (4 miles north-west). Sholing is among the bigger towns we cover in Southampton, with plenty of venues for parties.

Questions from Sholing
Do you cater at coastal events near Sholing?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Seafront and beach spots typically need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues 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.
Do you need electricity?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Check your date with us.
What does Mexican party catering cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
We can. We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. We give allergen information for every dish.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- What’s on the menu
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- What the venue already provides
- Parking and the route in
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Your menu ideas
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, fill in our quote form.
What we need at the venue
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
- A route in that is wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
Events we cater in Sholing
It is the easiest way to feed a party without being stuck in the kitchen, and the truck or trailer is a talking point.
Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Common bookings include:
- Engagement and anniversary parties
- Baby celebrations
- Milestone birthdays
- New-home celebrations
Parks such as Westwood Woodland Park typically need permission for vehicles and catering, so a garden or hired venue is often easier.
Questions to ask before you book
- The wet-weather plan
- How each diet is kept separate
- The caterer’s food hygiene rating
- How long the service runs
