For planners, venues and organisers
Organising a club, school or community event in Redbridge? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
How we price Mexican street food
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Food, drinks or both
- Travel, parking and access
- How long we are needed on site
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’ll quote.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The venue or postcode
- How we drive in and where we can park
- The date and time of the event
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, drop us a line using the enquiry form.

Running an event in Redbridge
Redbridge is about 1 mile east of Totton, in Southampton. We serve at events in homes, gardens and venues in Redbridge. We cover all 40 towns and villages in Southampton.
PTA volunteers planning an event for a school like Redbridge Primary School might like a trader who brings everything and serves quickly. A fundraiser for a church like All Saints might use a food truck to give visitors a reason to stay longer. Organisers near the New Forest National Park, within about 6 miles of Redbridge, may face extra conditions on traffic, ground protection and waste. We work to whatever the site sets. The coast is within about 4 miles of Redbridge, so for seaside events we plan a sheltered pitch, on firm ground rather than sand.
Wherever your event is in SO40, SO16 and SO15, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests. Streets in the area include Mill Road, Test Lane and Tate Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby.

Can I do a taco night myself?
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.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
