How our Mexican street food works in Portsmouth
Crew catering can be timed to your schedule, so your team eats well on a long day. It works well for school fairs and fundraisers and open days and community events, serving loaded nachos, tacos and quesadillas.
For events in Portsmouth, a Mexican street-food truck gives organisers one trader for several diets. Tell us the pitch, access and power arrangements. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

What Mexican street food costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- The number of people
Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
What to tell us
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- The date and time of the event
- Diets and allergies you know about
- A picture of where we’d park
- How we drive in and where we can park
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll send you a clear quote.
Running an event in Portsmouth
Portsmouth is in England. We serve at events in homes, gardens and venues in Portsmouth. We cover 19 places in Portsmouth, from the larger towns to small villages. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Portsmouth to Southampton (about 16 miles away).
A school such as Manor Infant School running a summer fair could book a taco truck. With the A3 and A27 close by, Portsmouth is straightforward for us to reach with the truck or trailer. Within about 3 miles of the sea, coastal events bring wind and sand into the plan. A firm, sheltered pitch suits a truck or trailer best.
We cater events across the PO6, PO4, PO1 and PO2 postcode area and the streets around it. Whether your event is on Church Road, April Square and Rudmore Square or anywhere nearby, we can bring Mexican street food there, given access. Portsmouth is on the A3 and A27, which makes it straightforward to bring the truck or trailer. We also serve at events in Rudmore (1 mile north-west), Landport (1 mile south-west), North End (1 mile north), Fratton (1 mile south-east) and Kingston (1 mile south-east). We also cater in nearby towns such as Wymering (3 miles north), Paulsgrove (3 miles north), Drayton (3 miles north-east) and Farlington (3 miles north-east).
Nearby you will also find Tricorn Centre (0.7 miles south-west) and Royal Portsmouth Hospital (0.7 miles south-west). Not far away are Milton Locks and Portsdown Hill.
- Local schools include The Portsmouth Academy (under half a mile south-east) and St Edmund's Catholic School (0.7 miles south-west)
- Nearby, you will find The Druids Arms (less than half a mile north-east)
- Parks and local facilities nearby include Southsea (1.9 miles south)

- Tell traders about power and water before the day
- Book crew catering in advance
- Provide seating near the food
- Give traders a single information pack
Allergen details are on hand for every dish.
Bowls as a gluten-free choice.

Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
What else we do in Portsmouth
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our truck or trailer, and serve without fuss. Christmas markets in Portsmouth trade in the dark from about 4:00pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:20pm.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We send our menu, needs and the documents you ask for.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Let us know the timings for the day
Getting a price

Planning the serving area
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- Pitch space for the vehicle and a queue
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.

Comparing your options
Some street food is slow to serve one order at a time. With fillings prepared ahead, service is fast. Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What you get with us
- A truck or trailer that comes to you
- Service planned around your numbers

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
