Street food for events around Hounsdown
Hounsdown is about 1 mile south of Totton, in Southampton. Wherever your event is in the SO40 area, we will come to your venue or site, as long as there is access. Hounsdown is one of 40 towns and villages in Southampton where we can bring Mexican street food.
For visitors coming by rail, the nearest station is Totton station, about 1.1 miles north-east. For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as Colbury Christ Church, a taco truck adds hot food to the cakes and tombola. Organisers near the New Forest National Park, within about 5 miles of Hounsdown, may face extra conditions on traffic, ground protection and waste. We work to whatever the site sets. The coast is within about 5 miles of Hounsdown, so for seaside events we plan a sheltered pitch, on firm ground rather than sand.

Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Ask traders about serving speed at peak times
- Provide seating near the food
- Check allergen information is on display
- Put all trader information in one pack
Allergen details are on hand for every dish, and the menu shows vegan and gluten-free options.
Margaritas and Mexican beer, subject to the event’s licence.
Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
For event organisers in Hounsdown
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
How it works
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, tell us and we’ll adjust the start of service where we can. For an evening event in Hounsdown, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after that, the trading area needs lighting from the organiser or the site.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, our pitch needs and the paperwork your event asks for.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on our pitch.
- We cook to order and serve through the agreed trading hours.
- At the close, we clear our pitch.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Name one person we can ask on the day
