Mexican catering for Afton Park events
Questions from Afton Park
Do you come out to small places like Afton Park?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
We’re having a ceremony at St. Agnes' Church: can you cater afterwards?
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. Send us the reception address.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
How does your Mexican catering work?
We arrive with our own mobile kitchen. We set up, serve your guests and clear away when service ends.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t normally stop service from the truck or trailer. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
How many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
Mexican catering in Afton Park, served fresh

We plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish. Popular choices include a build-your-own taco bar, loaded nachos and fresh salsas and guacamole, which works well for leaving parties and engagement and anniversary parties.
In a small place like Afton Park, events are usually in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we will plan for them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
- Let us know about any other food at the event
Guests order at the hatch and we serve them there and then, so everything goes out hot.
Loaded nachos make a good sharing starter or as a late snack.

Step by step
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can spend time with your guests. In Afton Park, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 4:05pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- 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.
- On the day, we set up and serve from the truck or trailer, or from a taco-bar station.
- Once everyone has eaten, we tidy our serving area and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Give us your final numbers and diets

Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
- A spot for a taco-bar serving table
- A clear area in front of the hatch for a queue
For somewhere as remote as Afton Park, early notice helps us plan the trip, the route in and power.

Afton Park: venues, access and local tips
Afton Park is about 6 miles south of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight. Whether your event is in the middle of Afton Park or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. Afton Park is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight we cover. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 18 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Mottistone Manor (3.8 miles south-east). Estates and historic houses tend to set their own rules for caterers, so find out what yours allows first. If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like All Saints Church of England Primary School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser. Afton Park is within about 2 miles of the sea, so for a seaside event we plan around the wind. The truck or trailer needs firm ground rather than sand or shingle, and seafront spots normally need permission from the council or landowner.
This part of the Isle of Wight takes in PO40, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. We can cater an event on streets such as Manor Road, Newport Road and Southdown Road or the roads around them. Nearby, we also cater events in Afton (1 mile west), Easton (1 mile west), Freshwater (1 mile north-west), Norton Green (1 mile north-west) and Colwell (2 miles north-west). We also cater in nearby towns such as Newport (9 miles east), Ryde (15 miles east), Cowes (10 miles north-east), Sandown (15 miles east), Shanklin (15 miles east) and Ventnor (14 miles south-east). If your event is somewhere remote, tell us early so we can plan the journey, access and power.
