Mexican catering for your event in Farnborough
Food from a truck or trailer feels relaxed. Guests come up to the hatch, chat while they wait and take something hot back to their seats, which suits informal events. It suits birthday parties and staff parties and office lunches, serving a build-your-own taco bar, tacos and loaded nachos.
Most events in a town like Farnborough are in gardens, halls, clubs or hired venues. Each can work, provided we can drive in and park on level ground. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
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 will work to it.
Hosting a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about access, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of people
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Distance and access to the venue
- How long we are needed on site
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- The date and time of the event
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Roughly how many adults and children
- A picture of where we’d park
Not sure what you need yet? That’s fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we’ll suggest a menu. When you are ready, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Farnborough: your questions answered
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Christopher?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Which station is closest to Farnborough?
Guests can use Farnborough Main station, about 0.5 miles east of Farnborough.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
How many guests can you cater for?
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Bigger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case.
Can you set up at our venue?
Send us details of the venue and the access, and we’ll check it works. Space for a queue and, if you choose one, a taco-bar table helps too.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
That is confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we will talk it through.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a photo of the access and the space.
How does mobile Mexican catering work?
Our food truck or trailer is a mobile kitchen. We set up, serve your guests and clear away when service ends.
Catering for every guest
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Tell us what other food is being served
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
Once everyone has eaten, we tidy up and pack away, leaving the space as we found it.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas, and they’re easy to adapt for different diets.
Catering an event in Farnborough
Farnborough is about 31 miles south-west of City of Westminster, in Hampshire. Events in Farnborough are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day. We serve in all 683 towns and villages in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater right across the region, from Farnborough to Guildford (about 9 miles away).
When the service is at a church such as Church of St Christopher, the food typically happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck. Thinking of an event in Snaky Lane Community Wildlife Area? Public parks typically need the landowner’s permission for a food truck, so check first.
Here we cover the GU14, GU11 and GU17 postcode area, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. Whether your event is on Wallis Square, Church Road West and Longleat Square or a nearby road, we can bring Mexican catering there, given access.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Comparing your options
Sit-down meals need a kitchen, tables and more staff. A food truck or trailer is its own kitchen, and needs a suitable spot, safe access and the venue’s agreement. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.

The process
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. Guests come up to order when service opens. In Farnborough, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and how many.
- Expect a suggested menu and a quote.
- Closer to the day, we confirm timings and arrangements.
- At the agreed time, service starts from the truck or trailer.
- We pack away when service is over.
Preparing for the day
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Give us a contact for the day
