Planning for every diet
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Confirm the venue’s catering rules early
- Ask about your date as soon as you have one
- Tell us how many evening guests to expect
- Let us know about supplier meals
Evening food is served at the agreed time, such as after the cake is cut.
Include your suppliers in the numbers.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Southbourne weddings: local tips
Southbourne is about 4 miles east of Havant, in West Sussex. For a wedding in Southbourne, we can serve in gardens, fields, venues, car parks and courtyards with access in and around Southbourne. We cater in all 371 towns and villages across West Sussex, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. We cater right across the region, from Southbourne to Southampton (about 22 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Warblington Castle (2.5 miles west). A listed house can make a beautiful backdrop, but many have firm rules on vehicles, so raise the food truck with them at your first visit. Some couples near Southbourne might slip away to Brook Meadow (Emsworth) for a few photos between the ceremony and the meal. Couples near the coast, within about 6 miles of Southbourne, 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.
Here we cover the PO10 postcode area, and we can cater your wedding anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. From Lodgebury Close, Manor Road and Northcote Gardens or a nearby road, we can bring wedding Mexican catering there, given access. Neighbouring places where we cater weddings include Woodmancote (1 mile north), Lumley (1 mile west), Westbourne (1 mile north-west), Emsworth (1 mile west) and Thorney Island (2 miles south-west). Further out, we also cater in Bognor Regis (11 miles south-east), Chichester (6 miles east), Selsey (10 miles south-east), Portfield (6 miles east), Yapton (13 miles east) and East Wittering (6 miles south).
A little further out are Warblington Castle (2.5 miles west) and Emsworth Museum (1.3 miles west). The countryside around Southbourne includes Stoke Down and Brook Meadow (Emsworth).
- Schools near Southbourne include Bourne Community College (less than half a mile north-west)
- Nearby, you’ll find The Traveller's Joy Public House (under half a mile south-east)
How the day works
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, tell us and we’ll adjust the start of service where we can. In Southbourne, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so evening tacos are generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
- Send us your wedding date, venue and numbers.
- Together we plan the food for your day.
- We agree timings and access with the venue.
- We serve at the agreed points in the day.
- We clear our area once service ends.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely

What affects the price in Southbourne
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Serving staff
- What the venue already provides
- Timings and hours
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Where the event is
- A photo of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- Your menu ideas
- Your date and when you want service to start
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and you’ll get menu ideas and a price. To get started, use our quote form.

Every taco gets salsa and guacamole.
Taco bar wedding breakfast

Comparing your options
Many food trucks only cover evening food. We can do the main meal as well, so one caterer covers the day. Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.

Perfect for your wedding in Southbourne
Couples choose Mexican street food because it feels relaxed and generous, and because guests talk about it afterwards.
These are some of the occasions we serve:
- Late-evening wedding food
- Rustic barn weddings
- Marquee and garden weddings
- Day-after wedding get-togethers
With a ceremony at a church such as St. John's, the simplest plan is a reception close by, so guests are not travelling far before they eat. We can set up while the photos are taken.
What to look for in a quote

- Plates and napkins, or nothing at all

Common questions in Southbourne
Could you serve our guests after a service at St. John's?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Could you come to a seaside event near Southbourne?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades normally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
What about supplier meals?
Just add them to your numbers. Tell us when they’ll eat.
Can you cater for all our guests’ diets?
We can. We plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, plus allergen information for every dish.
Is a taco bar smart enough for a wedding?
It can be dressed up or kept relaxed, depending on how it is served.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
What about power on site?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
Where the truck can go in Southbourne
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- A serving point within easy walk of the reception
- Space for guests to queue
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
