About our Mexican catering in St Lawrence
We slow-cook the fillings ahead and finish them on site, and the salsas and guacamole are freshly made. Tortillas are warmed as we serve. We serve burritos, fresh salsas and guacamole and a build-your-own taco bar, and it is a good fit for engagement celebrations and company summer parties.
Somewhere like St Lawrence, a field or garden is often the setting. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer.

The process
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. Winter evenings in St Lawrence close in by about 4:00pm, so choose a spot where guests can see what they’re ordering. At midsummer, the light holds until around 9:20pm.
- It begins with the basics: your date, venue, guest numbers and dietary needs.
- You get a suggested menu, with fillings agreed with you, and a quote.
- 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.
- When service ends, we pack down and clear our area.
Preparing for the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Tell us when you want service to start

Taco catering in St Lawrence: local tips
St Lawrence is about 4 miles south-west of Shanklin, in the Isle of Wight. For Mexican catering in St Lawrence, we plan around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day. St Lawrence is one of 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight where we can bring Mexican catering. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 24 miles away.
If you are organising a summer fair for a school like St Francis Catholic and Church of England Primary Academy, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser. If you are celebrating after a service at a church like St Lawrence's Church, a truck or trailer parked at a hall or garden close by can serve the meal. Coastal events near St Lawrence, which is within about 2 miles of the sea, bring wind and sand into the planning. Tell us exactly where you’d like us and we’ll check access.
Mexican catering in PO38 is planned around your venue and access and your guests. Whether your event is on Twining Road, Whitwell Road and Woolverton Road or a nearby road, we’ll plan where to park and serve. Other places close to St Lawrence for Mexican catering include Steephill (1 mile east), Nettlecombe (1 mile north-west), Whitwell (1 mile north-west), Ventnor (1 mile east) and Bierley (2 miles north-west). We also cater in nearby towns such as Newport (8 miles north), Ryde (10 miles north), Cowes (12 miles north), Sandown (6 miles north-east), Shanklin (4 miles north-east) and East Cowes (12 miles north). For an event at a remote venue, tell us early so we can plan the journey, access and power.

- Local schools include The Island Free School (1.2 miles north-east) and St Catherine's School (1.5 miles east)
Catering for every guest
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Count children separately
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Put any allergies in writing for us
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
If you’ve chosen a taco bar, the fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests help themselves while we keep it topped up.
Quesadillas are a good choice for children and cautious eaters.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
- A flat, firm spot where the truck or trailer can stand
For somewhere as remote as St Lawrence, early notice helps us plan the trip, the route in and power.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
On the menu in St Lawrence

Other catering in St Lawrence
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
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.
St Lawrence questions
Will you travel to a small place like St Lawrence?
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.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Lawrence's Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from.
Can you serve in bad weather?
We can still serve in the rain. Plan a marquee, gazebo or indoor space for guests to eat in.
How does your Mexican catering work?
We bring our food truck or trailer to your venue, cook to order and serve tacos, burritos and more from the hatch. A build-your-own taco bar is another option.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Where do you cater?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire.
What’s on the menu?
We agree the menu with each client, with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria or spiced mushrooms. Take a look at the sample menu.
