Mexican street food in New Forest, from our food truck or trailer
The menu is agreed with organisers, with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, plus a vegan option such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. On the menu are loaded nachos, quesadillas and burritos, which works well for sports club events and crew and volunteer catering.
Near New Forest, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hot-food truck is a big help. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Wherever your event is in SP6, we can bring Mexican street food to you. Local streets include Sillens Lane and Townsend Lane; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Planning the serving area
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Your questions about Mexican street food in New Forest
Do you come out to small places like New Forest?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Is the food very hot?
That’s your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.
Do you run a bar at festivals?
Our drinks bar can be added where the event’s licensing allows. Licensing is checked with you first.
How long do you serve for?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
What do you need at the venue?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
What do you serve?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
