Mexican party catering near Portchester
Mexican party catering in Portchester, from our food truck or trailer
A Mexican party takes the food off your hands without turning the day into a formal dinner. Our food truck or trailer parks up and we serve hot food as the party goes on. Popular choices include burritos, loaded nachos and a build-your-own taco bar, and it suits street and neighbourhood parties and christenings and naming days.
Parties around Portchester are often relaxed, garden-and-gazebo affairs. A taco truck on the drive fits right in, with power and water agreed beforehand. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.
What we need at the venue
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- Send a picture of the spot so we can check
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.

How it works
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. For a winter party in Portchester, it is dark by about 4:00pm in December, so plan lighting where guests queue and eat. In late June, it stays light until about 9:20pm.
- It starts with your date, the address, numbers and diets.
- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- Before the day, we check the space, the way in, power and water.
- On the day we set up and serve hot food at the time you choose.
- 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
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready

Working with your venue
Throwing a party at home? Send us a picture of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
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, with allergen information for every dish.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Catering for every guest
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
- Give the neighbours a heads-up
- Count adults and children separately
- Make sure most people can sit to eat
We have allergen details for every dish.
Quesadillas for younger guests.

Your questions about Mexican party catering in Portchester
How far is Portchester from London?
It is about 64 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary?
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.
Do you cook on site?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Are plates and napkins included?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
How spicy is the food?
It’s up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Do you do parties at home?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
Can you park at my house?
Generally, if there is firm, level ground and a way in that’s wide and tall enough. Send a photo and we’ll check.
What will our party cost?
We don’t publish set prices, as each party is different. Tell us your numbers and plans for a quote.
