Before you choose a spot
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day

How the day works
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. In Colwell, it is light until about 9:20pm in June but dark by about 4:05pm in December, so autumn and winter parties need more thought about lighting.
- It starts with your date, the address, numbers and diets.
- We put a menu together and quote for it.
- We check the space and access for the truck or trailer.
- On the day we set up and serve hot food at the time you choose.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
Before we arrive
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Tell us what power and water the site has

Colwell is about 5 miles south of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight. Give us the address of your party in Colwell, and we’ll plan the journey and set-up before the day. Colwell is one of 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight where we can bring Mexican party catering. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Colwell to Southampton (17 miles away).
Once the service at a church like Christ Church is over, the party can move somewhere with space for the truck and a queue. If guests are coming by rail, the nearest station is Lymington Pier station, about 4.9 miles north. Near the coast, within about a mile, a beach-side party is tempting, but seafront spots need permission and firm ground for the truck or trailer.

We can cater a party on streets such as Colwell Chine Road, Heath Lane and Chine Close or the roads around them.

How spicy is the food?
It is up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.

We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book.
