Mexican catering for your event in Hillgrove
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, and the salsas and guacamole are freshly made. We warm the tortillas as each order goes out. We serve fresh salsas and guacamole, tacos and a build-your-own taco bar, and it is a good fit for leaving parties and festivals, fairs and markets.
In a small place like Hillgrove, events are usually in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Country lanes, long drives and gates are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters, especially after rain. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Hillgrove: your questions answered
Is it possible to have you in Seaclose Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Can you serve near the sea around Hillgrove?
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.
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 about power on site?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we will park.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
Do you serve in the rain?
We serve from the truck or trailer whatever the weather, but guests will need somewhere covered to eat.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Can I do a taco night myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.

Planning a food truck in Hillgrove
Hillgrove is about 2 miles north-east of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. For Mexican catering in Hillgrove, we plan around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day. Hillgrove is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight where we can bring Mexican catering. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 16 miles away.
Parks such as Seaclose Park usually need the owner’s permission for vehicles and catering, so ask before you plan an event there. For a christening or wedding at a church such as St. Mark's Church, a food truck at a garden or venue nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. The coast is within about 4 miles of Hillgrove, 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 generally need permission from the council or landowner.
We serve at events all over the PO33 postcode area and the streets around it. We also serve at events in Staplers (1 mile south-west), Wootton (1 mile north-east), Fairlee (1 mile west), Cross Lane (1 mile south-west) and Barton (2 miles south-west). We also cater in nearby towns such as Ryde (4 miles east), Cowes (4 miles north-west), Sandown (6 miles south-east), Shanklin (6 miles south-east), Ventnor (8 miles south) and East Cowes (3 miles north-west). For an event at a remote venue, let us know early and we will plan the trip and the route in for the truck or trailer.
Nearby you’ll also find Carisbrooke Castle (3.2 miles south-west) and Isle of Wight Bus & Coach Museum (1.7 miles west). Open spaces near Hillgrove include Briddlesford Nature Reserve and Mill Hill.

Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Guest numbers

- The menu you choose
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Details that help
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- What you’d like on the menu
- Diets and allergies you know about
- A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field

How it compares
For food that feels relaxed but generous, a taco bar or a menu of tacos, burritos and nachos is hard to beat for your event in Hillgrove. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for Mexican catering. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.

What we need at the venue
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
