Why choose Mexican party catering in Great Thorness?
It feels like a holiday in your own garden.
A truck or trailer works for big and small events alike. Common bookings include:
- Naming days and christenings
- Big birthdays
- Retirement celebrations
- Anniversaries and engagement parties
Historic houses near Great Thorness include Swainston Manor (3 miles south) and Carisbrooke Castle (3.5 miles south-east). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on outside caterers and vehicles, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler.
Before booking anyone
- Plates and napkins, or nothing at all
- Payment terms and deposit
- Staff numbers and hours
- How dietary needs and allergies are handled
Great Thorness: your questions answered
Do you cater at coastal events near Great Thorness?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Seafront and beach spots usually need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Will you travel to a small place like Great Thorness?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Are plates and napkins included?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we’ll talk it through.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, the Isle of Wight included. Find your area.
What access do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
Can you plan for allergies?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Planning a party in Great Thorness
Great Thorness is about 3 miles south-west of Cowes, in the Isle of Wight. Across the PO31 area, we can serve your guests. We serve in 125 places in the Isle of Wight, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 13 miles away.
The coast is within about 4 miles, but seafront spots need permission and firm ground for the truck or trailer.
Mexican party catering in PO31 is planned around your venue and access. Neighbouring places where we cater parties include Porchfield (1 mile south-west), Locksgreen (1 mile south-west), Rew Street (2 miles north-east), Newtown (2 miles south-west) and Northwood (2 miles north-east). Further out, we also cater in Newport (3 miles south-east), Ryde (9 miles east), Cowes (3 miles north-east), Sandown (10 miles south-east), Shanklin (10 miles south-east) and Ventnor (11 miles south-east).

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Planning the serving area
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Details of power and water on site, agreed when you book
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
Great Thorness is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey and access for the truck or trailer.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we will adjust where we can. A party in Great Thorness in late May has daylight until about 8:55pm. After that, a few lamps or fairy lights near the serving area help.
- You tell us the date, the address, guest numbers and any diets.
- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- We check the space and access for the truck or trailer.
- On the day, we arrive, set up and start serving at the agreed time.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
