About Mexican catering in PO2

Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, while the salsas and guacamole are made fresh. Tortillas are warmed as we serve. We serve tacos, fresh salsas and guacamole and a build-your-own taco bar, which works well for weddings and evening receptions and birthday parties.

On the day, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. We are ready to serve at the agreed time, so everything runs to your schedule.

First, send us your date, venue, numbers and any diets we should know about.
We put together a menu around your guests and quote for it.
We check access, power and water with you or the venue.
On the day we arrive, set up and serve hot food from our truck or trailer.
Once everyone has eaten, we tidy our serving area and head off.

What you’ll pay

Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.

Catering events across PO2

There are 3 towns and 0 villages and hamlets in PO2, so whether your event is in Landport, Hilsea and Wymering or a quiet village, the approach is the same: access, level ground and a clear plan. Around 10 places in PO2 are close to the coast, where we plan for the wind at seaside events, and seafront spots need permission and firm ground for the truck or trailer.

Hilsea: Historic houses near Hilsea include Warblington Castle (4.7 miles east). Estates and historic houses tend to set their own rules for caterers, so find out what yours allows first. A gathering in Alexandra Park would need the park owner’s say-so for any catering vehicle, and that is worth sorting out early. Planning an evening event in Hilsea? Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September. Festoon lights or floodlights help once it gets dark.

Space, access and the venue

We will be honest if a space won’t work. What matters most:

Permission from the venue or landowner
A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
Space for guests to queue

Working with your venue

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.

Should I do it myself?

A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.

You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
