Wedding Mexican catering near Portchester
About our wedding Mexican catering in Portchester
Evening food needs to be quick and filling, and tacos or nachos from the truck or trailer do the job. At weddings with mixed diets and informal wedding breakfasts, we’ll put together a menu of quesadillas, tacos and burrito bowls.
Weddings in a place like Portchester often feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. A truck or trailer parked by the marquee fits right in. Let us know about gates and ground for the truck or trailer. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask whether your venue allows food trucks
- Let us know about severe allergies in writing
- Connect us with your coordinator
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP cards
We keep in touch with your venue coordinator on the day, so you can enjoy yourselves.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can be added.
Portchester questions
Is Portchester close to London?
About 64 miles from central London.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
How much does wedding Mexican catering cost in Portchester?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Tell us your date and numbers and we’ll reply with a quote.
Can you cater for all our guests’ diets?
We plan carefully and keep options separate. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the wedding.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
What’s on the menu?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Do you cover Portchester?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Portchester is within our area and the rest of Hampshire. To check your date, send a quick message through our quote form.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Planning a taco wedding in Portchester
Portchester is about 3 miles north-east of Gosport, in Hampshire. Across the PO16 area, we’ll come to your venue or site, as long as there’s access. Portchester is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 13 miles away.
Put the station on your invitation: the nearest station is Portchester station, about 0.5 miles north-west. Portsdown Hill nearby could make a lovely backdrop for photos. With the coast within about 5 miles, a seaside-style wedding is an option. Coastal wind, sand and seafront access all need planning for a truck or trailer.
Wherever your wedding is in PO16, PO6 and PO17, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. That could mean a wedding at a home with a drive on Cow Lane, Hill Road and Ralph Road. Nearby, we also cater weddings in Boarhunt (2 miles north-west), Southwick (2 miles north), Elson (2 miles south-west), Wallington (2 miles west) and Priddy's Hard (2 miles south).

Space, access and the venue
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- A place for the truck or trailer near where guests are eating
- Space for guests to queue
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.

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.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
