Mexican party catering near Alverstoke
About our Mexican party catering in Alverstoke
Taco bars are made for parties: guests fill their own tortillas from fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings, so everybody gets what they like. Popular choices include guacamole and salsas, a build-your-own taco bar and loaded nachos, and it’s a good fit for big birthdays and housewarmings.
A country party near Alverstoke is a good fit for street food: parked up on firm ground and serving from the hatch. Plan a gazebo for guests in case of rain. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Alverstoke: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Alverstoke?
Guests can use Portsmouth Harbour station, about 2.1 miles north-east of Alverstoke.
How far is Alverstoke from London?
It’s about 68 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
Can you keep it mild?
That’s your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
Can you cater at a hired venue?
Normally. We need firm, level ground outside, access and the venue’s agreement, with power and water confirmed when you book.
Do you need electricity?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we’ll park.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.
The process
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. A summer party in Alverstoke stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- It starts with your date, the address, numbers and diets.
- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- We check the space and access for the truck or trailer.
- We set up and serve tacos and more while your guests enjoy the party.
- We pack down after service so the party can carry on.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
Getting a price
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.

Before you choose a spot
We will agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- Send a photo of the spot so we can check
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Planning for every diet
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Collect dietary needs with your invites
- Include at least one vegan filling
- Plan somewhere for guests to sit and eat
- Let the neighbours know
When service is finished, we pack down quietly, so the party carries on.
