Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Plan a covered spot for wet weather
- Ensure most people can sit to eat
- Tell us about any severe allergies before the party
- Collect dietary needs with your invites
If it rains, we can still serve from the truck or trailer, though guests will want cover to eat under.
Loaded nachos to share as a starter.
How our Mexican party catering works in Portsmouth
A Mexican party takes the food off your hands without turning the day into a formal dinner. We park our food truck or trailer and serve hot food while your guests chat. At anniversary celebrations and housewarming parties, we can serve tacos, guacamole and salsas and a build-your-own taco bar and more.
A large place like Portsmouth has lots of party venues, but home can be the best venue of all, if there’s access. Let us know about parking and access. Everything is prepared fresh for your party and served from our truck or trailer.

Before you choose a spot
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- A route in that is wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.

How the day works
Once service is over, we pack down and clear our own area. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. A party in Portsmouth in late May has daylight until about 8:55pm. After that, a few lamps or fairy lights near the serving area help.
- We start by checking your date and the space.
- You pick the fillings and extras.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- Service starts at the agreed time.
- We pack away and the party carries on.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Find out what power and water are available
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough

Portsmouth questions
What’s the nearest station to Portsmouth for guests?
Fratton station, about 0.9 miles south of the centre.
Could you serve in Alexandra Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
Can you serve in the rain?
Rain does not usually stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
How long do you serve for?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
What’s on the menu?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Who clears up?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Let us know what you’d like and we’ll include the options in your quote.
