About our Mexican party catering in Southbourne
A truck or trailer can often park on a drive or in a garden, as long as the ground is firm and level and the access is wide enough. Send us a picture if you’re unsure. We serve quesadillas, loaded nachos and guacamole and salsas, and it’s a good fit for anniversaries and engagement parties and retirement celebrations.
Parties around Southbourne are often relaxed, garden-and-gazebo affairs. A food truck or trailer fits right in. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

How the day works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a picture of the space if you’re unsure. At midsummer, it is light in Southbourne until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

Planning a party in Southbourne
Southbourne is about 4 miles east of Havant, in West Sussex. Parties in Southbourne are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and friendly service on the day. Southbourne is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex we cover. You can also see our page for Chichester, about 6 miles away.
Parks such as Eames Farm normally need permission for vehicles and catering, so a garden or hired venue is often easier. If guests are coming by rail, Southbourne station is in Southbourne itself. Near the coast, within about 6 miles, a beach-side party is tempting, but seafront spots need permission and firm ground for the truck or trailer.
Wherever your party is in PO10, we can bring Mexican party catering to you. Your party could be at a home on Lodgebury Close, Manor Road and Northcote Gardens. Close by, we cover parties in Woodmancote (1 mile north), Lumley (1 mile west), Westbourne (1 mile north-west), Emsworth (1 mile west) and Thorney Island (2 miles south-west). Larger places within reach include Bognor Regis (11 miles south-east), Chichester (6 miles east), Selsey (10 miles south-east), Portfield (6 miles east), Yapton (13 miles east) and East Wittering (6 miles south).

Common questions in Southbourne
Can you cater a reception after a service at St. John's?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Eames Farm?
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’ll send what they need from us.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll go through the licensing with you.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
How long are you on site?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book.
When should I book?
Early, especially for summer weekends. Check your date with us.
Can you supply plates?
Tell us what you need and we will include the options in your quote.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- How many guests we’re serving
- Distance and access to the venue
- What the venue already provides
- What’s on the menu
Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Your quote confirms the full price.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- The date and rough timings
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- What you’d like on the menu
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. To send your details, tell us about it on our contact page.
Can I do a taco night 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.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
