About our Mexican street food in Crofton
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, which keeps the queue moving at busy times. It suits outdoor screenings and village fêtes and summer fairs, with burrito bowls, loaded nachos and burritos.
Near Crofton, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hot-food truck is a big help. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.
Street food for events around Crofton
Crofton is about 1 mile east of Stubbington, in Hampshire. Wherever your event is in the PO14 area, we can serve your guests. We serve in all 683 towns and villages across Hampshire, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.
A fundraiser for a church like Peel Common Mission Church might use a food truck to give visitors a reason to stay longer. For a public event, it helps to tell people that the nearest station is Fareham station, about 2.1 miles north. The coast is within about 6 miles of Crofton, so for seaside events we plan a sheltered pitch, on firm ground rather than sand.
This part of Hampshire takes in PO14 and PO13. Streets in the area include Mark's Road, Gosport Road and Newgate Lane, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Other places close to Crofton for Mexican street food include Peel Common (1 mile east), Rowner (1 mile east), Bridgemary (1 mile east), Lee-on-the-Solent (1 mile south) and Fareham (2 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover Havant (10 miles east), Eastleigh (12 miles north-west), Horndean (10 miles north-east), Totton (15 miles north-west), Chandler's Ford (14 miles north-west) and Hedge End (8 miles north-west).

- Local schools include Baycroft School (less than half a mile west) and Peel Common Infant School and Nursery Unit (0.5 miles east)
What happens on the day
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. A December market in Crofton loses the light at about 4:00pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and paperwork.
- We set up in the agreed window.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.

Working with your venue
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
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.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Planning for every diet
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Ask traders about serving speed at peak times
- Share power and water details early
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
We arrive in the agreed set-up window, following your trader pack.
Margaritas and Mexican beer, subject to the event’s licence.
Common questions in Crofton
Is Crofton close to London?
About 67 miles from central London.
Do you come to school fairs around Crofton?
We can, as long as the school agrees and the truck or trailer can reach the pitch. Tell us the date, the site and roughly how many visitors you expect.
Do you need power and water?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
How much is a food truck for an event?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
Can you cater in a back garden?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
What’s on the menu
Quesadillas
Popular with children.
Burrito bowls
Easy to eat with a fork on the grass.
Where the truck can go in Crofton
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
- Clear information on power, water and waste
- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.
What affects the price in Crofton
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Serving staff
- The menu you choose
- Timings and hours
- Guest numbers
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
