Can I do a taco night 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.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included. To get it right:
- Ask about peak-time capacity
- Plan seating near the food area
- Book crew catering in advance
- Make sure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
We arrive in the agreed set-up window, following your trader pack.
Alcohol-free aguas frescas.
Street food for events around Woolston
Woolston is about 2 miles south-east of Southampton, in Southampton. We cater events at gardens, halls and venues around Woolston and nearby villages. We cater in 40 places in Southampton, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.
For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as Church of St Mark, a taco truck adds hot food to the cakes and tombola. Hot food from a truck or trailer could give a school fair, for a school such as Woolston Infant School, a busy corner. Shows and fairs in the New Forest National Park, about 7 miles from Woolston at most, sometimes have rules on where traders can drive. Send us the site plan and we will plan around it. The coast is within about 2 miles of Woolston, so for seaside events we plan a sheltered pitch, on firm ground rather than sand.
Mexican street food in SO19 and SO14 is planned around your venue and access and timings. Whether your event is on Oak Road, Lake Road and Glen Road or a nearby road, we will plan where to park and serve. Woolston is on the A3025, so it’s easy for us to reach with the truck or trailer. If your venue is just outside Woolston, we also cover Weston (1 mile south-east), Netley (2 miles south-east), Butlocks Heath (2 miles south-east), Hound (2 miles south-east) and Old Netley (2 miles east). Further out, we also cater in Shirley (3 miles north-west), Regents Park (3 miles north-west), Townhill Park (3 miles north), Chartwell Green (3 miles north-east), Maybush (4 miles north-west) and Coxford (4 miles north-west).
A little further out are Gods House Tower - Museum of Archaeology (1.2 miles west) and Netley Castle (1.3 miles south-east). Green spaces nearby include Netley Common.
- Local schools include Woolston School (0.5 miles north-east) and Chamberlayne College for the Arts (0.9 miles south-east)
- Nearby, you will find The Admiral Sir Lucius Curtis pub (0.8 miles west)
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Woolston: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Woolston?
Guests can use Woolston station, which is right in Woolston.
Is it possible to have you in Westwood Woodland Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Do you cook on site?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
What does Mexican street food cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we’ll check the licensing with you and your venue.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t generally stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- What’s on the menu
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Travel, parking and access
- How long we’re needed on site
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican street food. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Your menu ideas
- Approximate guest numbers, including children

Step by step
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. Late-September events in Woolston see sunset at about 7:10pm, so an evening programme will run partly after dusk. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- You get our stall menu, what we need at the pitch and the paperwork you request.
- On the day, we arrive in the set-up window and get ready to trade.
- Tacos, burritos and more are served to order while the event is open.
- We pack away and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
How to get a price
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, use our quote form.
