Mexican catering for Thorley Street events
How our Mexican catering works in Thorley Street
Our truck and trailer service tends to suit around 50 to 400 guests. Larger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case, so let us know how many you expect. For milestone birthdays and fundraisers and school events, we’ll put together a menu of tacos, quesadillas and burritos.
Somewhere as small as Thorley Street, a garden or field is often the venue. 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.

Thorley Street questions
Will you travel to a small place like Thorley Street?
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.
We are having a ceremony at St. Swithin's Church: can you cater afterwards?
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. Send us the reception address.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a picture and we’ll talk it through.
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. Read our taco bar guide.
What are your prices?
Every event is quoted for individually, based on guest numbers, the menu, the venue and timings. For a price, use our quote form.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
When do you arrive?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
What’s on the menu?
Tacos and taco bars, plus burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas. See our sample menu.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
Comparing your options
With a barbecue, someone usually ends up stuck at the grill. With us, the cooking happens in our truck or trailer. 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.
Why book with us
- Menus for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests
- Book food, drinks or both
- Menus chosen with you
- Service planned around your numbers

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
How we price Mexican catering
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- What the venue already provides
- The menu you choose
- Distance and access to the venue
- Timings and hours
What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Roughly how many adults and children
- A picture of where we’d park
- The venue or postcode
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: venue, timings, menu ideas and access. When you are ready, use our quote form.

Thorley Street: venues, access and local tips
Thorley Street is about 6 miles south-east of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight. Whether your event is in the middle of Thorley Street or on the outskirts, Mexican catering works the same way: fresh service from our truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We cover 125 places across the Isle of Wight, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater right across the region, from Thorley Street to Southampton (about 16 miles away).
When the service is at a church such as St. Swithin's Church, the food generally happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck. With the sea within about 3 miles, a beach-side event might appeal. Promenades and beaches usually need permission, and the truck or trailer has to park on firm ground, not sand.
This part of the Isle of Wight takes in PO41, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. Streets in the area include Hill Place Lane and Holmfield Avenue, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Nearby, we also cater events in Thorley (1 mile west), Wellow (1 mile south-east), Ningwood (1 mile east), Shalcombe (2 miles south-east) and Newbridge (2 miles east). Within a short drive, we also cover Newport (7 miles east), Ryde (13 miles east), Cowes (8 miles north-east), Sandown (14 miles east), Shanklin (13 miles east) and Ventnor (13 miles south-east). If your event is somewhere remote, let us know early and we’ll plan the trip and the route in for the truck or trailer.
Well-known places in the area include Yarmouth Castle (1.7 miles north-west) and Ferguson Family Museum (2 miles west). Open spaces near Thorley Street include Lymington and Keyhaven Marshes Nature Reserve and Compton Down.
