Common questions in Tapnage
Do you cater in villages like Tapnage?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
How far is Tapnage from central London?
Roughly 64 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Is there something for non-drinkers?
Yes. Aguas frescas such as agua de jamaica and horchata are alcohol-free.
Do you do drinks only?
Yes. Book the bar on its own, or with our Mexican catering.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Our truck and trailer service normally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
Can you keep it mild?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Tapnage: venues, access and licensing
Tapnage is about 3 miles north of Fareham, in Hampshire. Anywhere in PO17, we can bring the truck or trailer to you, as long as there’s access. We cater in 683 places across Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 8 miles away.
For a drinks-led event, rail details help, and Swanwick station is about 2.4 miles away. With the sea within about 5 miles, a seaside drinks reception is an option. Seafront spots generally need permission, especially for alcohol, and the truck or trailer needs firm ground.

Nearby, we also cater events in Knowle (1 mile south-east), Funtley (1 mile south), Whiteley (2 miles west), Burridge (2 miles west) and Segensworth (2 miles south-west).

A little further out are Knowle Hospital (0.9 miles south-east) and Fareham Shopping Centre (3.1 miles south-east). Not far away are Swanwick Lakes.

Is Mexican bar hire right for your event?
A self-service drinks table is simple but can run dry or go warm. Bar staff keep drinks flowing and cold. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.
