Mexican catering for your event in Midanbury
Food from a truck or trailer feels relaxed. People wander up, order at the hatch and head off with hot food, which suits informal events. At leaving dos and retirement parties and christenings and family parties, we can serve a build-your-own taco bar, loaded nachos and fresh salsas and guacamole and more.
Around Midanbury, events are often in gardens, fields, local halls or nearby venues. If access is tight or the ground is soft, we’ll plan around it. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Catering an event in Midanbury
Midanbury is about 1 mile east of Southampton, in Southampton. From the centre of Midanbury to the outskirts, Mexican catering works the same way: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. Midanbury is one of 40 places in Southampton where we can bring Mexican catering.
A school such as Bitterne Park School running a summer fair or fundraiser could book a taco truck. Thinking of an event in Riverside Park? Public parks typically need the landowner’s permission for a food truck, so check first. The coast is within about 3 miles of Midanbury, 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 generally need permission from the council or landowner.
Anywhere in SO18, SO17 and SO19, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Neva Road, Avon Road and Bond Road or the roads around them. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Bitterne Park (1 mile south-west), Townhill Park (1 mile north-east), Chartwell Green (1 mile north-east), Mansbridge (1 mile north) and Bitterne (1 mile south). Further out, we also cater in Shirley (3 miles west), Regents Park (3 miles west), Maybush (4 miles west), Coxford (3 miles west), Freemantle (3 miles west) and Lordswood (3 miles west). Being one of Southampton’s larger places, Midanbury has lots of places to hold an event.
Other landmarks nearby include Marlands Shopping Centre (2.3 miles south-west) and Netley Castle (3.4 miles south). Open spaces near Midanbury include Netley Common.
- Schools near Midanbury include The Gregg School (less than half a mile north-east) and Townhill Junior School (0.5 miles north-east)
- Local pubs include Bitterne Park Hotel (0.5 miles west)
How it compares
With a barbecue, someone typically ends up stuck at the grill. Book us and the cooking happens in our truck or trailer, so you can enjoy your event. 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.
Why us?
- Menus chosen with you
- Fast service, even with a queue
- A clear quote
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both

Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Working with your venue
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Organising a club, school or community event in Midanbury? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.
Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Count children separately
- Mention any other caterers or courses
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Make sure the menu has a vegan option
Once everyone has eaten, we tidy up and pack away, leaving the space as we found it.
Quesadillas go down well with children, because they’re simple.

Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- How long we’re needed on site

FAQs for Midanbury
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of Ascension?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you cater at coastal events near Midanbury?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades generally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Do you cater for big events?
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
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.
What does Mexican catering cost?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually need. Tell us your date and numbers and we’ll reply with a quote.
How long are you on site?
