Wedding Mexican catering in Havant
How our wedding Mexican catering works in Havant
A food truck or trailer suits barns, marquees, gardens and venues with hardstanding, provided there is safe access and level, firm ground. For informal wedding breakfasts and civil partnerships and vow renewals, we’ll put together a menu of burrito bowls, fresh guacamole and salsas and a taco bar for the wedding breakfast.
In a town like Havant, a church ceremony and a garden or marquee reception is a classic combination. A taco truck suits that well: we can be ready to serve as guests arrive. Everything is prepared fresh for your wedding and served from our food truck or trailer.
Questions from Havant
Is Havant close to London?
It is about 59 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
We are having a ceremony at St Francis: can you cater afterwards?
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. Send us the reception address.
How long are you on site?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
How much space do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
What if the timings change?
We plan for it. Food is served to order, so we can start when you’re ready, even if that moves.
What about power on site?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we’ll park.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Wedding venues and access near Havant
Havant is about 18 miles east of Southampton, in Hampshire. We bring wedding Mexican catering to homes, gardens and venues in Havant and the surrounding area. We cater in 683 places in Hampshire, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Havant to Southampton (about 18 miles away).
Say your vows at a church like St Francis, then head to a garden, barn or marquee where the truck or trailer is waiting. We can set up while the photos are taken. Southmoor Nature Reserve nearby could make a lovely backdrop for photos. Couples near the coast, within about 6 miles of Havant, sometimes want a beach feel. We need firm ground for the truck or trailer, so a clifftop lawn or venue car park may suit better than the sand.
Anywhere in PO9, PO11 and PO7, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests. Streets in the area include Colemore Square, Market Parade and Juniper Square, and a wedding on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Being close to the A27 and A3(M), Havant is easy for us to reach. Close by, we cover weddings in Leigh Park (1 mile north), Denvilles (1 mile south-east), Durrants (2 miles north-east), Langstone (2 miles south) and Warblington (2 miles south-east). Larger places within reach include Gosport (8 miles south-west), Fareham (9 miles west), Horndean (3 miles north), Hedge End (14 miles west), Petersfield (10 miles north) and Locks Heath (12 miles west). Being one of Hampshire’s larger places, Havant has plenty of venues and spaces for weddings, though town-centre access for a truck or trailer needs planning.
Well-known places in the area include Havant War Memorial Hospital (0.6 miles south) and Havant Museum (0.9 miles south-east). The countryside around Havant includes Southmoor Nature Reserve.
- Local schools include Havant College (under half a mile south)

DIY taco night versus a caterer
