What affects the price in Steephill
These are the factors that matter most:
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- How long we are needed on site
- Serving staff
- What the venue already provides
Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you can choose what you need.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The address or venue name
- A photo of the space, if it’s a garden or field
The quickest way to a quote is to use our quote form. Tell us about your party in Steephill, and we’ll put together a menu and price.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. 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
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
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 you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Steephill is one of 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight where we can bring Mexican party catering. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 24 miles away.
If your garden is hard to reach, local venues and clubs near Steephill can be an alternative, as long as the truck or trailer can get in. Rail travellers will be glad to hear that the nearest station is Shanklin station, about 3.5 miles north-east. The coast is within about 2 miles, but seafront spots need permission and firm ground for the truck or trailer.

The process
Once service is over, we pack up and leave our area tidy. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. A summer party in Steephill stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

- You get a menu and a quote.
- We confirm access, then arrive early on the day.
- Food is served from the hatch or the taco bar.
- We clear our area when service ends.

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 be with your guests, we will do the serving.
