Mexican party catering in Havant, served fresh
Taco bars are made for parties: everyone builds their own tacos from the fillings and toppings, so fussy eaters and adventurous ones are both happy. At retirement and leaving parties and naming days and christenings, we can serve guacamole and salsas, a build-your-own taco bar and tacos and more.
Garden parties are a favourite in Havant, and a hall or club with a car park works if the garden doesn’t. All we need is level ground and room to queue. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Should I do it myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

Your questions about Mexican party catering in Havant
Could you serve our guests 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.
Which station should guests use for Havant?
The closest is Havant station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Can you serve from my drive or garden?
Normally, if there is firm, level ground and a way in that’s wide and tall enough. Send us a photo of the space.
What will our party cost?
Every party is quoted for individually, depending on numbers, menu and where you are. For a price, send a quick message through our quote form.
Do we need to provide plates?
Let us know what you’d like and we’ll explain the options with your quote.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
What do you need at the venue?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
