Wedding Mexican catering in Sprat's Down, from our truck or trailer
A food truck or trailer suits barns, marquees, gardens and venues with hardstanding, provided there’s safe access and level, firm ground. It suits barn and farm weddings and day-after celebrations, serving burrito bowls, tacos and a taco bar for the wedding breakfast.
A wedding in a small place like Sprat's Down often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A truck or trailer works well there: no venue kitchen needed, just level, firm ground and a way in. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.
Where the truck can go in Sprat's Down
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
- Add your band and photographer to the numbers

If speeches or photos run over, tell us, and we’ll move the serving time.

Step by step
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can spend time with your guests. For a summer wedding in Sprat's Down, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so evening tacos are usually served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
- First, we check availability for your date.
- You pick the menu with us.
- We confirm access and the serving spot with your coordinator.
- Guests build their tacos at the taco bar or order at the hatch.
- After serving, we clear away.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready

Sprat's Down questions
What’s the nearest station to Sprat's Down for guests?
Guests can use Hamble station, about 4 miles north of Sprat's Down.
We’re having a ceremony at St George: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
How much is a food truck for an event?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
Can you serve drinks at our wedding?
Yes, we have a drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. Alcohol needs the right licence, so we will check that with you.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book.
What if the photos overrun?
We adapt. We keep in touch with your venue on the day and move the serving time if needed.
