Nettlecombe questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at Water Hydrant Opposite Parish Church?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Could you come to a seaside event near Nettlecombe?
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.
Can you set up at our venue?
Tell us about the venue and the way in, and we will check it works. Space for a queue and, if you choose one, a taco-bar table helps too.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
Are plates and napkins included?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not usually stop service from the truck or trailer. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.
Can you cater in a back garden?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we will advise.

- Whether you need disposables

What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Any dietary needs and allergies

Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP

- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
We can still serve from the hatch if it rains, though guests need somewhere under cover to eat.
Loaded nachos make a good sharing starter or as a late snack.

Why choose Mexican catering in Nettlecombe?
Burgers and pizza are what guests often expect. Mexican street food stands out, yet it’s still food most guests know and like. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Your quote confirms the full price.
Why us?
- A plan agreed before the day
- Events in Nettlecombe and across the Isle of Wight
- Book food, drinks or both
- Allergen-aware menus
See our pricing or the cost guide.
Should I do it myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
What else we do in Nettlecombe
What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. In Nettlecombe, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 4:00pm, plan lighting where guests queue and eat.
- You tell us the date, the venue, rough guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- We suggest a sample menu and send a quote for your event.
- We check access, power and water with you or the venue.
- On the day, we set up and serve from the truck or trailer, or from a taco-bar station.
- After service, we clear away and leave the spot tidy.
