Mexican street food for Lower Pennington events
About our Mexican street food in Lower Pennington
We slow-cook fillings ahead and finish them on site, which keeps the queue moving at busy times. At open days and community events and fundraisers and fêtes, we’ll put together a menu of burritos, vegan tacos and quesadillas for your guests.
At a fête or field event near Lower Pennington, a truck or trailer brings hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground, the gate and access. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, with allergen information for everything we serve.
Comparing your options
Food that sits in a hot cabinet is not much to look at. Everything we serve is assembled to order. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican street food. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.

Lower Pennington questions
Could you bring a taco truck to a school fair in Lower Pennington?
Yes, if the school is happy and there’s access for the truck or trailer. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
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.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will suggest mild options.
Is the food made fresh?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Can you do gluten-free food?
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.
Are plates and napkins included?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The length of service
- How many staff you need
- What the venue already provides
- The menu you choose
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Your menu ideas
Send us the date, your venue or SO41 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and you will get menu ideas and a price. To get started, send a quick message through our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
We will be honest if a space won’t work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Pitch space for the vehicle and a queue
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
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. Summer events in Lower Pennington have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 4:05pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- We check your dates.
- We agree what we’ll serve and where.
- We send the paperwork your event asks for.
- We’re ready to serve as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
How to prepare
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to drop us a line using the enquiry form. Give us the details of your event, and we’ll put together a menu and price.
Planning help
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
