Wedding Mexican catering for your wedding in Portsea
A food truck or trailer suits barns, marquees, gardens and venues with hardstanding, provided there’s safe access and level, firm ground. At gatherings the day after a wedding and receptions after an intimate ceremony, we will put together a menu of tacos, quesadillas and evening tacos and more.
For a smaller place like Portsea, a garden or farm wedding can be ideal. We need level ground and access. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.

What affects the price in Portsea
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Travel, parking and access
- How long we’re needed on site
- What’s on the menu
- What the venue already provides
Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so share your ideas with us. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
What we need to know
The more we know about your wedding, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- A picture of where we’d park
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
Send us the date, your venue or PO1 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and you’ll get menu ideas and a price. Just use our quote form.
Perfect for your wedding in Portsea
It fits barns, marquees and gardens, where a formal sit-down meal is harder to manage.
A truck or trailer works for big and small events alike. Common bookings include:
- Evening wedding food
- Parties after a register office wedding
- Gatherings the day after a wedding
- Farm and barn venues
With a ceremony at a church such as St Ann's Church, the simplest plan is a reception close by, so guests aren’t travelling far before they eat. Service can start as guests arrive.
What your quote should include
- What the caterer needs from your venue
- Whether travel is included
- A clear list of what’s included
- Whether plates, napkins and cutlery are included

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.

Weddings in Portsea: venues, ceremonies and travel
Portsea is about 1 mile south-west of Portsmouth, in Portsmouth. Weddings in Portsea are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day. Portsea is one of 19 places in Portsmouth we cover. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Portsea to Southampton (15 miles away).
Milton Locks nearby could make a lovely backdrop for photos. For guests travelling by train, Portsmouth Harbour station is in Portsea itself. Couples near the coast, within about 2 miles of Portsea, 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.
Wedding Mexican catering in PO1, PO12 and PO5 is planned around your venue and access. Whether your wedding is on Main Road, Park Road and Scott Road or a nearby road, we can bring wedding Mexican catering there, given access. If your venue is just outside Portsea, we also cover Portsmouth Point (1 mile south), Clayhall (2 miles south-west), Haslar (2 miles south-west), Alverstoke (2 miles south-west) and Privett (2 miles west). Larger places within reach include Hilsea (3 miles north-east), Wymering (4 miles north-east), Paulsgrove (4 miles north), Cosham (3 miles north-east), Drayton (4 miles north-east) and Farlington (5 miles north-east).
A little further out are Tricorn Centre (0.8 miles east) and Southsea Castle (1.6 miles south-east). Not far away are Milton Locks and Portsdown Hill.
- Nearby schools include St Jude's CofE Primary School (0.7 miles south-east) and Charter Academy (0.8 miles east)
- Nearby, you will find The Ship & Castle pub (less than half a mile west)
- Local facilities include Southsea (1.3 miles south-east)
What happens on the day
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain doesn’t typically stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. By late September, sunset in Portsea is around 7:10pm, so an evening taco service may start as the light fades. A late-May wedding keeps its light until roughly 8:55pm.
- Tell us the date, the venue, day and evening numbers and your plans.
- You get a suggested wedding menu and a quote to match.
- We agree access, timings, power and water with you and your venue.
- On the day we set up and serve when your running order says.
- We pack down after service and leave our area tidy.
How to prepare
- Find out what power and water are available
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in

Portsea questions
Which station is closest to Portsea?
Guests can use Portsmouth Harbour station, which is right in Portsea.
Is Portsea close to London?
About 65 miles from central London, and we cover it.
What access 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 picture of the space and the way in.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us 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). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Can you cater for vegans and gluten-free guests?
We can. There are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, plus allergen information for every dish.
Do you need power and water?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we will park.
Is wedding Mexican catering right for your wedding?
Choosing between tacos and a traditional menu?, think about your venue, your guests’ diets and the feel of the day. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Your quote confirms the full price.
