Mexican catering in Highfield, from our food truck or trailer
Mixed diets are easy to plan with Mexican street food. We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish. At company summer parties and fairs and festivals, we’ll put together a menu of tacos, quesadillas and burritos.

The process
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, service opens at the agreed time, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. A December event in Highfield will be in the dark from about 4:00pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. At midsummer, the light holds until around 9:25pm.
- Share the date, the venue and how many are coming.
- We plan a menu that covers every diet.
- We confirm the way in and where we’ll park.
- Food is served from the hatch or a taco-bar table.
- After the last serving, we clear our area.
Preparing for the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Give us a contact for the day

Taco catering in Highfield: local tips
Highfield is about 1 mile north of Southampton, in Southampton. For Mexican catering in Highfield, we can serve in gardens, fields, venues, car parks and courtyards with access. We cater in all 40 towns and villages across Southampton.
The A3035 run on or near Highfield, so the drive in with the truck or trailer is a simple one. For a christening or wedding at a church such as Highfield Church, a food truck at a garden or venue nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. Highfield is within about 3 miles of the sea, so for a seaside event we plan around the wind. The truck or trailer needs firm ground rather than sand or shingle, and seafront spots usually need permission from the council or landowner.
Anywhere in SO17, SO16 and SO14, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests. From Winn Road, Nile Road and The Avenue or anywhere nearby, we will plan where to park and serve. Main roads around Highfield include the A3035, so getting the truck or trailer to your event is simple. We also serve at events in Bassett (1 mile north-west), Shirley (2 miles west), Lordswood (2 miles north-west), Freemantle (2 miles south-west) and Coxford (2 miles west). We also cater in nearby towns such as Thornhill (3 miles south-east), Harefield (3 miles east), Sholing (3 miles south-east), Woolston (3 miles south), Eling (4 miles west) and Rownhams (3 miles north-west).
Well-known places in the area include Royal South Hants Hospital (1.2 miles south) and Marlands Shopping Centre (1.7 miles south). The countryside around Highfield includes Netley Common.
- Schools near Highfield include Richard Taunton Sixth Form College (0.8 miles west) and Saint George Catholic Voluntary Aided College Southampton (1.4 miles north-east)
- Local pubs include The Cowherds Inn (0.5 miles south-west)
Dietary needs and planning tips
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Let us know about any other food at the event
- Check that your venue allows outside caterers and vehicles
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
We can still serve from the hatch if it rains, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
Quesadillas are a good choice for children and cautious eaters.
Should I do it myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
What we need at the venue
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- Space for guests to queue
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Highfield questions
Can you serve near the sea around Highfield?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades normally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Highfield Church?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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.
What access do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we will suggest the best set-up.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Do you do a drinks bar?
You can add our drinks bar, with bar staff serving margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. We will talk licensing through with you before the day.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will check the licensing with you.
Can you serve in the rain?
Rain does not typically stop service from the truck or trailer. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
