Working with your venue
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
How our Mexican party catering works in Pondwell
A truck or trailer can often park on a drive or in a garden, as long as the ground is firm and level and the access is wide enough. Not sure? Send us a photo. We serve loaded nachos, quesadillas and burritos, and it is a good fit for birthday parties and christenings and naming days.
Near Pondwell, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access and soft ground, and we will plan around it. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Questions from Pondwell
Do you come out to small places like Pondwell?
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’re having a ceremony at St. Peter's Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Can you keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
What access do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a photo of the access and the space.
How the day works
When service finishes, we pack up and leave our area tidy. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. Sunset in Pondwell ranges from about 9:20pm at midsummer to about 4:00pm in December, so autumn and winter parties need more thought about lighting.

Hosting a taco party in Pondwell
Pondwell is about 2 miles east of Ryde, in the Isle of Wight. Anywhere in PO33, we can serve your guests. We cater in all 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. We cater right across the region, from Pondwell to Southampton (about 18 miles away).
Around Pondwell, historic houses include Nunwell House (2.7 miles south-west) and Morton Manor (3.1 miles south). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on outside caterers and vehicles, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. Once the service at a church like St. Peter's Church is over, the party can move somewhere with space for the truck and a queue. A party by the sea is within reach, as Pondwell is within about 2 miles of the coast. Wind and soft sand are the things to plan for.
We cover parties in every part of the PO33 postcode area. From Pondwell Hill, Gregory Avenue and Wishing Well Close or a nearby road, we can bring Mexican party catering there, given access.

Remote venues take a little more planning, so contact us in good time about access, ground and power.

Space, access and the venue
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day

- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
Out-of-the-way places like Pondwell take a little more planning, so let us know about tracks, gates and power in good time.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Staff for serving and the bar
- What the venue already provides
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- The number of people
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- A picture of where we’d park
- The address or venue name
- Diets and allergies you know about

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
- Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
- Tacos and taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas
- Mexican drinks bar: margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas
