Mexican party catering in Southsea, served fresh
Tacos are relaxed party food: easy to eat with one hand, so guests can keep chatting and there’s no need for a seating plan. Popular choices include loaded nachos, a build-your-own taco bar and tacos, and it’s a good fit for street and neighbourhood parties and summer garden parties.
In Southsea, home and the local hall are popular party venues. A food truck can work at either, as long as we can drive in and park on level ground. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Step by step
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a picture of the space if you are unsure. In Southsea, it is light until about 9:20pm in June but dark by about 4:00pm in December, so autumn and winter parties need more thought about lighting.
- Send us your date, address and numbers.
- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- We confirm access, then arrive early on the day.
- Food is served from the hatch or the taco bar.
- We clear our area when service ends.

FAQs for Southsea
How far is Southsea from central London?
It is about 65 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Margaret of Scotland?
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 cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will plan the menu around them.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will go through the licensing with you.
Can you cater a party at a village hall?
Often, yes. We need a suitable spot outside and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book.
Do you need electricity?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll talk it through.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
