Mexican street food or something else?
One-dish stalls leave some visitors out. Tacos, burritos, bowls and nachos give choice from one pitch. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Why book with us
- Tacos, burritos and a drinks bar
- Set-up planned with you and your venue
- A menu agreed with you
- Options for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests
How it works
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can spend time with your guests. By late September, it’s dark in Knightwood at around 7:10pm, so later trading needs some lighting. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.
- It starts with your event details and pitch information.
- We send our menu, pitch requirements and the documents you ask traders for.
- On the day, we arrive in the set-up window and get ready to trade.
- We cook to order and serve through the agreed trading hours.
- When trading ends, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Give us a contact for the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
Getting a price
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. Contact us for a quote: just fill in our quote form.

Running an event in Knightwood
Knightwood is about 1 mile west of Chandler's Ford, in Hampshire. We bring Mexican street food to gardens, halls and venues around Knightwood and the surrounding area. We cover all 683 towns and villages in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages.
For a public event, it helps to tell people that Chandlers Ford station is about 0.8 miles away. If you’re organising a summer fair or fundraiser for a school such as Knightwood Primary School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser.
We cover events in every part of SO53 and SO52. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Foyle Road, Harvest Road and Flexford Road. Close by, we cover events in Chilworth Old Village (2 miles south-west), Chilworth (2 miles south), North Baddesley (2 miles west), Toothill (3 miles south-west) and Bassett (3 miles south).

DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Planning the serving area
If a space isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- The event’s site rules and timings
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- A level pitch on firm ground
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.

The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
