Common questions in Itchen
Can you serve near the sea around Itchen?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
Could you bring a taco truck to a school fair in Itchen?
Yes, with the school’s permission and a pitch the truck or trailer can reach. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Is the food very hot?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Will you have a stall at our event?
Tell us about the event, dates and pitch, and we will check availability.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
How the day works
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. At midsummer, events in Itchen stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- You send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- You get our stall menu, what we need at the pitch and the paperwork you request.
- On the day, we arrive in the set-up window and get ready to trade.
- Tacos, burritos and more are served to order while the event is open.
- At the close, we clear our pitch.
Getting ready for the day

Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
Running an event in Itchen
Itchen is about 2 miles south-east of Southampton, in Southampton. Tell us where your event in Itchen will be, and we will plan access and set-up before the day. We cover all 40 towns and villages in Southampton, from the larger towns to small villages.
With the A3025 close by, Itchen is straightforward for us to reach with the truck or trailer. For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as Jesus Chapel - St Mary Extra, a taco truck adds hot food to the cakes and tombola. Shows and fairs in the New Forest National Park, about 7 miles from Itchen at most, sometimes have rules on where traders can drive. Send us the site plan and we’ll plan around it. Within about 2 miles of the sea, coastal events bring wind and sand into the plan. A firm, sheltered pitch suits a truck or trailer best.
Here we cover the SO19 and SO14 postcode area, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. Streets in the area include Sea Road, Oak Road and West Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Itchen is on the A3025, which makes it straightforward to bring the truck or trailer.

Can I do a taco night myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
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.
