The process
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our food truck or trailer, and get on with serving. A December event in Freemantle will be in the dark from about 4:00pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and how many.
- Expect a suggested menu and a quote.
- Closer to the day, we confirm timings and arrangements.
- We serve hot food from our truck or trailer at the agreed time.
- When you’re done, we pack away.
Before we arrive
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Give us a contact for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
How to get a price
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.

- Guest numbers
Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Your quote confirms the full price.

- Where the event is
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Your date and when you want service to start
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. Contact us for a quote: just send a quick message through our quote form.
Freemantle questions
We are having a ceremony at Christ Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Which station is closest to Freemantle?
Millbrook (Hants) station, in Freemantle itself.
How many guests can you serve?
Our truck and trailer service generally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Do you cater for big events?
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Bigger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case.
Can you keep it mild?
It’s up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Can you serve drinks as well?
We can. The drinks bar offers margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free drinks. Licensing is checked with you first.
Catering for every guest
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Count children separately
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
We work around your timings, and adapt if they move.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can be added from our drinks bar.
Planning the serving area
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

You do not need a kitchen, so gardens, fields and outdoor venues are all possible.
We can help if you are planning any of the following:
- Staff parties and office lunches
- Markets and community events
- Garden parties
- Anniversaries and engagements
A gathering in Blechynden Terrace Park would need the park owner’s say-so for any catering vehicle, and that is worth sorting out early.

Taco catering in Freemantle: local tips
Freemantle is about 1 mile west of Southampton, in Southampton. We serve at events in homes, gardens and venues in Freemantle. Freemantle is one of 40 places in Southampton we cover.
If you are celebrating after a service at a church like Christ Church, a truck or trailer parked at a hall or garden close by can serve the meal. If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Freemantle Church of England Community Academy, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser. Venues in and around the New Forest National Park, within about 7 miles of Freemantle, sometimes limit where vehicles can go. Ask yours about access for a truck or trailer before booking.
