Mexican catering for your event in Winchester
Mixed diets are easy to plan with Mexican street food. We plan vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish. We serve fresh salsas and guacamole, loaded nachos and quesadillas, which works well for engagement celebrations and big birthday celebrations.
Winchester is a large place with every kind of venue, from function rooms to gardens and courtyards. Whichever you choose, the truck or trailer needs level ground and a clear route in, and it helps to know about town-centre access and parking. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
Winchester questions
How far is Winchester from central London?
It is about 61 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Which station is closest to Winchester?
Winchester station, about 0.6 miles north of the centre.
What do you need at the venue?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll recommend how to serve.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
What’s on the menu?

Do you serve in the rain?
We can still serve in the rain. Have somewhere covered ready for guests.
Is the food very hot?
It is up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.

Catering for every guest
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Include at least one vegan filling
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Mention any other caterers or courses
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
Once everyone has eaten, we tidy up and pack away, leaving the space as we found it.

Planning help
Is Mexican catering right for your event?
A cold buffet is simple but tends to sit out for hours. Our food is served hot, one order at a time. Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
