About our Mexican catering in Havant
You can keep the menu short or make it a feast: a taco menu, or tacos plus loaded nachos, quesadillas and burrito bowls. Our Mexican drinks bar can be added too, with licensing checked with you. On the menu are tacos, fresh salsas and guacamole and loaded nachos, and it is a good fit for markets and community events and anniversaries and engagements.
Most events in a town like Havant are in gardens, halls, clubs or hired venues. All of them can work, provided we can drive in and park on level ground. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Step by step
When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. In Havant, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- Start by telling us about your event.
- You get a sample menu and a quote.
- We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- We arrive, set up and serve from the hatch.
- We pack down after service and leave the area tidy.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
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. Read our guide to taco bars.

Questions from Havant
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Francis?
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’s the nearest station to Havant for guests?
Havant station, about 0.6 miles south of the centre.
What can we choose from?
We agree the menu with each client, with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria or spiced mushrooms. The sample menu shows the options.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. For alcohol, we will go through the licensing with you and your venue.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, including Hampshire. Find your area.
Do you do parties at home?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
How much space do you need?
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.
