Thornhill questions
Which station is closest to Thornhill?
The closest is Sholing station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
Do you cater at coastal events near Thornhill?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Seafront and beach spots generally need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, including Thornhill.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Who clears up?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Do you cater in Thornhill?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Thornhill is within our area. To check your date, use our quote form.
Can you serve alcohol at our event?
We can add our drinks bar if the event is licensed for it. Licensing is checked with you first.
Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.

Street food for events around Thornhill
Thornhill is about 2 miles east of Southampton, in Southampton. From the centre of Thornhill to the outskirts, Mexican street food works the same way: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. Thornhill is one of 40 places in Southampton where we can bring Mexican street food.
Thornhill is on or near the A334, so getting the truck or trailer to your pitch is simple. Running a fête for a church like St Christopher? A Mexican street-food truck draws people in. Seafront festivals and markets, with the coast within about 3 miles of Thornhill, need the organiser’s permission for traders. Send us the pitch details and we’ll check access.
We cater events across the SO19, SO18 and SO30 postcode area and the streets around it. Your event could be at a home on Drove Road, Barry Road and Luton Road.
