About our Mexican street food in Harefield
We slow-cook fillings ahead and finish them on site, which keeps the queue moving at busy times. At school and charity events and sports clubs and race days, we will put together a menu of vegan tacos, burrito bowls and burritos and more.
In Harefield, one trader covering most diets keeps it simple. Tacos and burritos can do exactly that. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.

How it works
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. Late-September events in Harefield see sunset at about 7:10pm, so later trading needs some lighting. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- You get our menu and pitch requirements.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- We plan to be ready for the lunchtime rush.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in

Planning help
Before you choose a spot
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.

Questions from Harefield
What’s the nearest station to Harefield for guests?
Guests can use Bitterne station, about 1.5 miles west of Harefield.
Do you come to school fairs around Harefield?
Yes, if the school is happy and there is access for the truck or trailer. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Our truck and trailer service generally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
Do you do parties at home?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
What do you need at the venue?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
How is the food prepared?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Running an event in Harefield
Harefield is about 2 miles east of Southampton, in Southampton. Tell us where your event in Harefield will be, and we’ll plan the journey and set-up. Harefield is one of 40 places in Southampton we cover.
A fundraiser for a church like Church of St James might use a food truck to give visitors a reason to stay longer. Rail travel is an option for visitors, as Bitterne station is about 1.5 miles away. Within about 3 miles of the sea, coastal events bring wind and sand into the plan. A firm, sheltered pitch suits a truck or trailer best.

Planners, venues and businesses

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
