Portswood questions
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Do you cater at coastal events near Portswood?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Do you need electricity?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.
Can you supply plates?
Tell us what you need, and we’ll set out what we can do in the quote.
Can you cater for special diets?
Vegetarian and vegan fillings are cooked and served separately. Ask anyone with a severe allergy to speak to us first.
What happens on the day
When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. For a winter party in Portswood, it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, so think about how guests will see their way to the truck. At midsummer, sunset is about 9:25pm.
- We start by checking your date and the space.
- You choose fillings, sides and extras.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- We serve hot food at the time you choose.
- We tidy up and leave you to enjoy the party.
How to prepare
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
Ask for a quote
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.

If you’re planning any of these, we can help:
- Anniversaries and engagement parties

Once the service at a church like Highfield Church is over, the party can move somewhere with space for the truck and a queue.
What your quote should include
- Whether plates, napkins and cutlery are included
- Whether travel is included
- The wet-weather plan
- Space, access, power and water needs
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
