Common questions in Dibden Purlieu
Do you cater at coastal events near Dibden Purlieu?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades usually need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Do you come to events 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 give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
What do you need at the pitch?
Send pitch details and we will confirm, including power and water.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Do you run a bar at festivals?
It depends on the event’s licence. Tell us whether the event has a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, and we will go from there.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
Do you do a taco bar?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
Working with your venue
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
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.
Who books Mexican street food in Dibden Purlieu?

Whatever the occasion, our food truck or trailer can be the centre of it. We’re happy to cater:
- Feeding crew and volunteers

DIY taco night or a caterer?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Catering for every guest

On the day, we work with your site team on any changes.

Planning the serving area
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- Vehicle access to the pitch for set-up and break-down
