How our Mexican catering works in Bonchurch
We bring our food truck or trailer to events in and around Bonchurch: private gardens, venue grounds, courtyards and fields, as long as there is safe access. It suits christenings and family parties and anniversaries and engagements, serving loaded nachos, a build-your-own taco bar and tacos.
In a hamlet or village like Bonchurch, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Bonchurch questions
Can you serve near the sea around Bonchurch?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades normally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Which station is closest to Bonchurch?
Guests can use Shanklin station, about 2.4 miles north of Bonchurch.
Who clears up?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll talk it through.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop service from the hatch. Plan a marquee, gazebo or indoor space for guests to eat in.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
How many guests can you cater for?
Our service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Bigger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case.
How spicy is the food?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
What affects the price in Bonchurch
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Whether you need disposables
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Timings and hours
- The menu you choose
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Your menu ideas
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and when you want service to start
Still deciding on the menu? No problem: give us the basics about your event, and we will suggest a menu. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.

Diets, allergies and planning
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations
- Ensure the menu has a vegan option
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
Guests order at the hatch and we serve them there and then, so it’s hot when it reaches them.
Burrito bowls suit guests who’d rather skip the tortilla, and they’re easy to adapt for different diets.
The process
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can spend time with your guests. Around midsummer it stays light in Bonchurch until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and how many.
- Expect a suggested menu and a quote.
- Nearer the date, we go over the final plan.
- We serve hot food from our truck or trailer at the agreed time.
- We pack away when service is over.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
