Mexican catering in Calbourne, served fresh
We slow-cook the fillings ahead and finish them on site, and the salsas and guacamole are freshly made. We warm the tortillas as each order goes out. For office lunches and team days and markets and community events, we can serve tacos, fresh salsas and guacamole and a build-your-own taco bar.
In a rural place like Calbourne, access is the main thing to plan: gate widths, soft ground and the distance from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you before the day. We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Confirm allergies by email before the event
- Think about cover for guests in wet weather
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
Allergen information is on hand for every dish, and guests are welcome to ask before ordering.
A tray of loaded nachos works well to start or as a late snack.
Calbourne: your questions answered
Could you serve our guests after a service at All Saints' Church?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you serve near the sea around Calbourne?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
What does Mexican catering cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Send us the details for a quote.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Do you cover Calbourne?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Calbourne is within our area and the rest of the Isle of Wight. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
What do you need at the venue?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
Do you need electricity?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.

What’s on the menu
Tacos
Tacos are the classic street food of Mexico. We serve them with salsas and toppings.
Build-your-own taco bar
The taco bar keeps things sociable, and it makes mixed diets easy, with every dish labelled.
What we need at the venue
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
- A spot for a taco-bar serving table
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
For somewhere as remote as Calbourne, early notice helps us plan the trip, the route in and power.
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

Step by step
Here’s how the day generally runs: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. In Calbourne, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so winter events need lighting around the truck and the queue.
- Send us your date, numbers and venue.
- We plan a menu that covers every diet.
- We confirm the way in and where we’ll park.
- Food is served from the hatch or a taco-bar table.
- We clear our serving area when everyone is fed.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
