Fairs, fêtes and events in Portmore
Portmore is about 2 miles north-east of Lymington, in Hampshire. We cater events at homes, gardens and venues in Portmore and the surrounding area. We cater in 683 places in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Portmore to Southampton (about 11 miles away).
For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as Saint Nicholas Chapel, a taco truck adds hot food to the cakes and tombola. A school such as Southlands School running a summer fair could book a taco truck. Shows and fairs in the New Forest National Park, about 4 miles from Portmore at most, sometimes have rules on where traders can drive. Send us the site plan and we’ll plan around it. Seafront festivals and markets, with the coast within about 2 miles of Portmore, need the organiser’s permission for traders. Send us the pitch details and we will check access.
We serve at events all over the SO41 postcode area and the streets around it. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Warborne Lane, Jordans Lane and Main Road. If your venue is just outside Portmore, we also cover Warborne (1 mile west), Pilley (1 mile north-west), Bull Hill (1 mile north), Pilley Bailey (1 mile north) and Walhampton (1 mile south). We also cater in nearby towns such as 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).
Nearby you will also find Lymington New Forest Hospital (1 mile south-west) and Yarmouth Castle (4.8 miles south). The countryside around Portmore includes Boldre Foreshore.

Mexican street food for your event in Portmore
Tacos, burritos and bowls are easy to eat on the move, which suits festival crowds. At outdoor cinema and theatre nights and village fairs, we will put together a menu of burritos, vegan tacos and loaded nachos and more.
Rural events near Portmore can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food truck is a big help. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
Step by step
We work to your timings. If things run behind, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. A December market in Portmore loses the light at about 4:00pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:25pm.
- You send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We send our menu, pitch requirements and the documents you ask traders for.
- We set up the truck or trailer on the pitch at the agreed time.
- We cook to order and serve through the agreed trading hours.
- When trading ends, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site

Common questions in Portmore
Can you serve near the sea around Portmore?
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.
Do you cater in the New Forest National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Send us a photo of the access and the space.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can you trade at our festival or fair?
Send us the details, and we will reply with our availability and what we need.
Do you have gluten-free options?
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.

- What the caterer needs from your venue

Before you choose a spot
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- Clear information on power, water and waste
- Flat, firm ground
- Pitch space for the vehicle and a queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.
Can I do a taco night myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
