About our Mexican catering in Portchester
We plan each menu with the client, with fillings such as slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, alongside vegan choices such as black beans or spiced mushrooms. It suits garden get-togethers and big birthday celebrations, with burrito bowls, loaded nachos and burritos.
Around Portchester, events are often in gardens, fields, local halls or nearby venues. If access is tight or the ground is soft, we’ll plan around it. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
Portchester questions
Can you serve near the sea around Portchester?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades typically need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
How far is Portchester from central London?
It is about 64 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
When do you arrive?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
Do you need power and water?
Let us know what’s available on site, for example a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Do you have vegan options?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
Do you cover Portchester?
Yes, we do. Portchester is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Can guests build their own tacos?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
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. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. 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’ll do the serving.

Dietary needs and planning tips
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Put guests with severe allergies in touch with us early
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Plan a vegan filling as well as a vegetarian one
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
We have allergen information for every dish at the hatch.
Ask us about plates, cutlery and serving staff and we’ll confirm what’s possible with your quote.
