Wedding Mexican catering for Hilsea events
The process
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A picture of the space helps. Golden-hour photos in Hilsea at midsummer come around 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.
- Send us your wedding date, venue and numbers.
- Together we plan the food for your day.
- Timings are agreed with your venue.
- On the day, we set up and serve on cue.
- We pack down and leave our area tidy.
How to prepare
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
Ask for a quote
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.

Group shots in Alexandra Park could be lovely, though some parks ask for notice or a permit, so look into it. Close to Hilsea are historic houses such as Warblington Castle (4.7 miles east).

Should I do it myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.

How we price wedding Mexican catering
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Guest numbers
- How long we’re needed on site
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we’ll set out what’s included.

You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:

- Your date and when you want service to start
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, drop us a line using the enquiry form.

With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Tell us when the speeches will be

We park where the venue agrees, ideally where guests can see us, which makes a good photo.

Questions from Hilsea
Which station should guests use for Hilsea?
Guests can use Hilsea station, about 0.5 miles east of Hilsea.
Do you cater at coastal events near Hilsea?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Seafront and beach spots typically need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
Can you keep it mild?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, including Portsmouth. Find your area.
How it compares
Pizza and bacon rolls are common evening choices. Evening tacos are something different. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
