How long are you on site?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
Can you serve in bad weather?
We can still serve in the rain. Plan a marquee, gazebo or indoor space for guests to eat in.
How does your Mexican catering work?

We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Our service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Bigger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case.
What happens on the day
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. Around midsummer it stays light in Lee-on-the-Solent until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- You tell us the date, the venue, rough guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- We put together a menu around your guests and quote for it.
- Before the day, we agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- We arrive, set up and cook to order, with salsas and guacamole made fresh.
- When service ends, we pack down and clear our area.

Taco catering in Lee-on-the-Solent: local tips
Lee-on-the-Solent is about 2 miles west of Gosport, in Hampshire. Wherever your event is in the PO13 area, we’ll come to your venue or site, as long as there is access. Lee-on-the-Solent is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire where we can bring Mexican catering. We cater right across the region, from Lee-on-the-Solent to Southampton (12 miles away).
Guests leaving a church like Church of St Faith after a christening could walk over to a nearby garden where the tacos are ready. If people are travelling in by rail, the nearest station is Fareham station, about 3.5 miles north. With the sea within about 5 miles, a beach-side event might appeal. Promenades and beaches generally need permission, and the truck or trailer has to park on firm ground, not sand.
Wherever your event is in PO13, we can bring Mexican catering to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Local streets include High Street, Victoria Square and Wheatcroft Road; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park.

Before you choose a spot

- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Some distance from houses and neighbours

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
