How our Mexican catering works in Elson
Our truck and trailer service tends to suit around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case, so let us know how many you expect. For staff parties and office lunches and markets and community events, we can serve burritos, quesadillas and loaded nachos and more.
In a smaller place like Elson, your own garden, drive or a local hall is often the simplest option: no venue to hire and no cooking for you. Let us know about the route to the house. You will know what’s included before booking: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Why choose Mexican catering in Elson?

Take a look at how we price and our guide to catering costs.
What affects the price in Elson
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- The menu you choose
- The length of service
- Parking and the route in
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Your date and when you want service to start
- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.
Common questions in Elson
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Thomas?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
What’s the nearest station to Elson for guests?
Guests can use Portsmouth Harbour station, about 2.1 miles south-east of Elson.
Do you cover Elson?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Elson. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t typically stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
What’s on the menu?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Do you do parties at home?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a photo and we’ll talk it through.

Catering an event in Elson
Elson is about 1 mile north of Gosport, in Hampshire. Wherever your event is in the PO12 area, we can bring the truck or trailer to you, as long as there’s access. We cater in 683 places in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. We cater right across the region, from Elson to Southampton (13 miles away).
With the A32 nearby, getting the truck or trailer to Elson is straightforward. If people are travelling in by rail, Portsmouth Harbour station is about 2.1 miles away. Elson is within about 4 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 PO12 and PO13, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Whether your event is on Ham Lane, Quay Lane and Avery Lane or anywhere nearby, we’ll plan where to park and serve. You will find Elson on the A32, so it is easy for us to reach with the truck or trailer. For events just outside Elson, we cover Gosport (1 mile south), Forton (1 mile south), Bridgemary (1 mile north-west), Priddy's Hard (1 mile south-east) and Rowner (1 mile north-west). We also cater in nearby towns such as Havant (8 miles north-east), Eastleigh (14 miles north-west), Fareham (3 miles north-west), Horndean (9 miles north-east), Hedge End (10 miles north-west) and Waterlooville (7 miles north-east).
Well-known places in the area include Search (1.6 miles south-east) and Portchester Castle (2.2 miles north-east). Green spaces nearby include West of the River Alver and Portsdown Hill.
- Schools near Elson include Brune Park Community School (0.5 miles south-west) and St Vincent College (1.1 miles south-east)
- Nearby, you’ll find The Kings Head pub (0.5 miles south-west)
Catering for every guest
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
- Include at least one vegan filling
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Let us know about any other food at the event
If you’ve chosen a taco bar, the fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests build their own while we keep it topped up.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas.
What we need at the venue
We will be honest if a space won’t work. What matters most:
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- Room for a serving table for the taco bar
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
