Mexican catering for your event in Steephill
Few things get guests chatting like a build-your-own taco bar. Everyone builds their own tacos from what’s laid out, so nobody ends up with something they don’t want. It suits retirement and leaving parties and big birthday celebrations, with fresh salsas and guacamole, a build-your-own taco bar and quesadillas.
In a hamlet or village like Steephill, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a good venue. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Dietary needs and planning tips
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Tell us what other food is being served
When service ends, we pack down and clear our area.
Burrito bowls are a good choice for anyone avoiding tortillas, and they’re easy to adapt for different diets.

Questions from Steephill
Which station is closest to Steephill?
Guests can use Shanklin station, about 3.5 miles north-east of Steephill.
Can you serve near the sea around Steephill?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades typically need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
What does Mexican catering cost?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
What is mobile Mexican catering?
We arrive with our own mobile kitchen. We set up at your venue, serve hot food to order and pack down afterwards.
What if it rains?
The truck or trailer serves in the rain, though guests need a covered place to eat.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food.
Can you serve in the rain?
Rain doesn’t normally stop service from the truck or trailer. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will go through the licensing with you.
Before you choose a spot
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- Space for a taco-bar table if you’ve chosen one
- Some distance from houses and neighbours
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
Out-of-the-way places like Steephill take a little more planning, so let us know about tracks, gates and power in good time.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.
Popular choices

- Tacos

How it compares
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a larger team. A food truck or trailer is its own kitchen, so we need a suitable spot, access and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
