Corporate Mexican catering in Portswood, from our food truck or trailer

Around Portswood, team days can be at rural venues or the office. A truck or trailer suits all of them, with level ground and access. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

How it works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain doesn’t usually stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. For a Christmas party in Portswood, it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the serving area and queue need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
- You send us the date, venue, headcount, timings and dietary needs.
- We confirm a menu and a quote, plus any documents the site needs from caterers.
- We arrange arrival times and access with your facilities team.
- On the day, food is served from the truck, the trailer or a taco-bar station to your timings.
- We pack down and leave the space as we found it.

FAQs for Portswood
Is it possible to have you in Southampton Common?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Which station is closest to Portswood?
Portswood has its own station: St Denys station.
Who clears up?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll talk it through.
Do you need power and water?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we’ll park.
How spicy is the food?
That’s your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Do you do a bar for work events?
Our drinks bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. Alcohol needs the right licence, such as the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice.
How big an event can you cater?
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
Do you do Christmas parties?
Hot tacos on a cold evening go down well. December dates are worth booking early.
How it compares
Buffet food sits out. Our food is served hot, order by order. There is no one-size-fits-all price for corporate Mexican catering. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
