Portmore questions
Will you travel to a small place like Portmore?
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.
We are having a ceremony at Saint Nicholas Chapel: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself is not 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 will check the access.
Can you park at my house?
It depends on the access and the ground. Let us know about gates, slopes and soft grass, and we’ll confirm.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Can you cater for special diets?
We can. We plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
That is confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we will talk it through.
Working with your venue
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
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.
Planning for every diet
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Put out bins for general waste and recycling
- Arrange a gazebo in case of rain
- Put severe allergies to us in writing
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
Children love watching their food being made, and quesadillas are a safe bet.
Burrito bowls for guests who skip tortillas.
Hosting a taco party in Portmore
Portmore is about 2 miles north-east of Lymington, in Hampshire. For Mexican party catering in Portmore, we can serve in gardens, fields, venues, car parks and courtyards with access. We cover 683 places in Hampshire. We cater right across the region, from Portmore to Southampton (11 miles away).
Once the service at a church like Saint Nicholas Chapel is over, the party can move somewhere with space for the truck and a queue. Rail travellers will be glad to hear that the nearest station is Lymington Town station, about 1.1 miles south-west. For a party in the countryside, the New Forest National Park is within about 4 miles. Rural gardens and fields work well for a truck, given firm ground and a way in. With the sea within about 2 miles of Portmore, a coastal party could work, though promenades typically need the council’s agreement for vehicles.
Anywhere in SO41, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Streets in the area include Warborne Lane, Jordans Lane and Main Road, and a party on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Close by, we cover parties in Warborne (1 mile west), Pilley (1 mile north-west), Bull Hill (1 mile north), Pilley Bailey (1 mile north) and Walhampton (1 mile south). Larger places within reach include Eastleigh (15 miles north-east), Fareham (15 miles east), Totton (10 miles north), Hedge End (14 miles north-east), Romsey (15 miles north) and Hythe (8 miles north-east).

Can I do a taco night 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.
