Weddings in Tipner: venues, ceremonies and travel
Tipner is about 1 mile north-west of Portsmouth, in Portsmouth. From the centre of Tipner to the outskirts, wedding Mexican catering works the same way: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. Tipner is one of 19 places in Portsmouth we cover. We cater right across the region, from Tipner to Southampton (15 miles away).
Couples who choose a church such as St Saviour's Church for the ceremony often pick a reception spot a short drive away. Service can start as guests arrive. If you are hoping for photos in Alexandra Park, check whether the park needs permission for photography or gatherings. With the coast within about 3 miles, a seaside-style wedding is an option. Coastal wind, sand and seafront access all need planning for a truck or trailer.

Planning for every diet
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Add your band and photographer to the numbers
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
- Enquire early for summer Saturdays
The truck or trailer can be placed where guests can see it, which makes a good photo.
Add our drinks bar for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you and your venue.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.

Step by step
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. A winter wedding in Tipner gets dark early, at about 4:00pm in December, so evening guests will be queuing in the dark. Festoon lights by the truck help guests see the menu.
- You send us your wedding date, venue, numbers and how you see the day.
- Together we choose a taco bar, evening food or both, and we send a quote.
- Timings and where the truck or trailer will stand are agreed with your venue.
- We arrive, set up and serve the food at the agreed times.
- We pack down after service and leave our area tidy.
How to prepare
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Find out what power and water are available
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
