How wedding Mexican catering works in Portsmouth

A food truck can make a colourful backdrop for photos, and guests like watching their food being served. It works well for food for evening guests and rustic barn weddings, with quesadillas, tacos and a taco bar for the wedding breakfast.

Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area.

  1. First, we check availability for your date.
  2. You pick the menu with us.
  3. We confirm access and the serving spot with your coordinator.
  4. Guests build their tacos at the taco bar or order at the hatch.
  5. After serving, we clear away.

Weddings across Portsmouth: venues and settings

Weddings across Portsmouth range from town venues in Southsea, Milton and Landport to barns, marquees and gardens in 0 villages and hamlets. A food truck or trailer suits barn, marquee and garden weddings especially well, as long as it can get in. 19 of the places we cover in Portsmouth are within about 6 miles of the sea, so we often plan around the wind at coastal events, and seafront spots need permission and firm ground for the truck or trailer.

It helps to add rail details to the invitations, as the nearest station is Fratton station, about 0.9 miles south. For a summer wedding in Portsmouth, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means evening food is generally served in daylight in June and July.

Dietary needs and planning tips

Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included. To make it work smoothly:

  • Think about a covered space for wet weather
  • Include suppliers who need feeding
  • Share your running order, including speeches

A taco bar is laid out on a table, and guests can be called up by table.

Include your suppliers in the numbers.

Can I do a taco night myself?

A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.

Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

How it compares

Buffets can mean food waiting for a while. Tacos go straight from the hatch to the plate.

Questions to ask before booking

  • How late numbers can change
  • The venue requirements
  • How many staff are serving, and for how long
  • Plates and napkins, or nothing at all

Portsmouth questions

Is Mexican street food too casual for a wedding?

It can be dressed up or kept relaxed, depending on the presentation and the venue.

Do you take everything away?

Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will talk it through.

Can we add margaritas?

You can add our drinks bar, with bar staff serving your guests. Alcohol needs the right licence, so we’ll check that with you.

Can you do the wedding breakfast and evening food?

Yes. We can do a taco bar for the main meal and tacos or nachos for the evening.

How far ahead should we book?

Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.

Do you cater for suppliers?

Just add them to your numbers. Tell us when they’ll eat.

Can you liaise with the venue coordinator?

Yes. We are happy to talk to your venue about access, timings, power and water.
