Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the New Forest National Park?

The closest is Southampton Town Quay station, roughly 2.8 miles away.

We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
