Drinks receptions around Landport
Landport is about 1 mile south-west of Portsmouth, in Portsmouth. We serve at events in gardens, halls and venues around Landport and nearby villages. We serve in 19 places in Portsmouth. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 16 miles away.
Serving alcohol in Alexandra Park would need the owner’s permission and probably a licence, so a garden or venue is often simpler. Couples leaving a church such as Church of All Saints could be greeted with margaritas and aguas frescas at the reception. Drinks by the sea could work, as Landport is within about 2 miles of the coast. Licensing on the seafront needs checking, and we will do that with you.
Anywhere in PO1, PO2 and PO5, we can bring Mexican bar hire to you. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Lake Road, Watts Road and Alfred Road. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Portsmouth (1 mile north-east), Fratton (1 mile east), Rudmore (1 mile north), Kingston (1 mile east) and North End (1 mile north). Further out, we also cater in Wymering (3 miles north), Paulsgrove (3 miles north), Cosham (3 miles north), Drayton (3 miles north-east) and Farlington (4 miles north-east).
A little further out are Southsea Castle (1.7 miles south) and Tricorn Centre (under half a mile west). Open spaces near Landport include Milton Locks and Portsdown Hill.
- Schools near Landport include St Edmund's Catholic School (within half a mile south) and St Edmund's Catholic School (less than half a mile south)
- Nearby, you’ll find The Painters Arms (within half a mile south)
- Other local spots include Southsea (1.4 miles south)
The process
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. A summer drinks reception in Landport has daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so evening drinks can be served in daylight. In late September it’s dark around 7:10pm, and in December by about 4:00pm, so evening bars need lighting.
- We check availability.
- We suggest margaritas, beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free choices.
- We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- We tidy up at the end.
Preparing for the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Tell us what power and water the site has

Some planning tips for the drinks:

Should I do it myself?
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.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Mexican bar hire or something else?
DIY drinks tables are easy but need constant topping up. Bar staff keep drinks flowing and cold. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can feel generous.

Which station should guests use for Landport?
Landport has its own station: Portsmouth & Southsea station.
