Mexican catering in Portsmouth, from our food truck or trailer
Few things get guests chatting like a build-your-own taco bar. Guests fill their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, so each plate is exactly how they like it. It works well for markets and community events and retirement and leaving parties, serving fresh salsas and guacamole, burrito bowls and a build-your-own taco bar.
Portsmouth is a large place with every kind of venue, from hotels and function rooms to car parks, fields and big gardens. Wherever you hold your event, we need a level, firm spot and a way in for the truck or trailer, and town-centre access and loading times are worth mentioning when you enquire. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Questions from Portsmouth
We are having a ceremony at St Wilfrid: can you cater afterwards?
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. Tell us where the reception will be.
How far is Portsmouth from central London?
Roughly 64 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a picture of the access and the space, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
When do you arrive?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, Portsmouth included. See all areas.
Is the food made fresh?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so contact us early.
Can you serve in the rain?
Rain does not usually stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Catering for every guest
We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Confirm the venue is happy to have a catering vehicle
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Put any allergies in writing for us
Once everyone has eaten, we tidy up and pack away quietly.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can be added from our drinks bar.
Planning a food truck in Portsmouth
Portsmouth is in England. Events in Portsmouth are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and friendly service on the day. We serve in all 19 towns and villages across Portsmouth, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 16 miles away.
If you are organising a summer fair for a school like Manor Infant School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser. If you are celebrating after a service at a church like St Wilfrid, a truck or trailer parked at a hall or garden close by can serve the meal. With the sea within about 3 miles, a beach-side event might appeal. Promenades and beaches typically need permission, and the truck or trailer has to park on firm ground, not sand.
Wherever your event is in PO6, PO4, PO1 and PO2, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Local streets include Church Road, April Square and Rudmore Square; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. Being close to the A3 and A27, Portsmouth is simple for us to get to for your event. Close by, we cover events in Rudmore (1 mile north-west), Landport (1 mile south-west), North End (1 mile north), Fratton (1 mile south-east) and Kingston (1 mile south-east). Larger places within reach include Wymering (3 miles north), Paulsgrove (3 miles north), Drayton (3 miles north-east) and Farlington (3 miles north-east).
Well-known places in the area include Tricorn Centre (0.7 miles south-west) and Royal Portsmouth Hospital (0.7 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Milton Locks and Portsdown Hill.
- Schools near Portsmouth include The Portsmouth Academy (within half a mile south-east) and St Edmund's Catholic School (0.7 miles south-west)
