Mexican party catering for your party in Thorley
Taco bars are made for parties: guests fill their own tortillas from fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings, so everybody gets what they like. On the menu are a build-your-own taco bar, tacos and loaded nachos, which works well for graduation celebrations and anniversary celebrations.
In a small place like Thorley, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground, and we’ll plan the set-up. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Hosting a taco party in Thorley
Thorley is about 5 miles south-east of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight. Wherever your party is in the PO41 area, we will come to your venue or site. We cover 125 places across the Isle of Wight, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 16 miles away.
Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as St. Swithin's Church, with a party at home or in a hall afterwards. Around Thorley, historic houses include Mottistone Manor (3.7 miles south-east) and Swainston Manor (4.2 miles east). A milestone birthday in a historic setting is possible, but find out early whether a food truck can get on site. The coast is within about 3 miles, but seafront spots need permission and firm ground for the truck or trailer.
We serve at parties all over the PO41 postcode area. Close by, we cover parties in Thorley Street (1 mile east), Wellow (1 mile south-east), Ningwood (2 miles east), Shalcombe (2 miles south-east) and Newbridge (2 miles east). Larger places within reach include Newport (8 miles east), Ryde (14 miles east), Cowes (8 miles north-east), Sandown (14 miles east), Shanklin (14 miles east) and Ventnor (13 miles south-east). Some remote venues need extra planning, so ask early about your party.
A little further out are Yarmouth Castle (1.4 miles north-west) and Ferguson Family Museum (1.7 miles west). Green spaces nearby include Lymington and Keyhaven Marshes Nature Reserve and Compton Down.
Thorley questions
Do you come out to small places like Thorley?
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. The church itself is not 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 will check the access.
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Is the food made fresh?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we will talk licensing through with you and your venue.
Can you serve from my drive or garden?
That depends on the way in and the ground. Tell us about gates, slopes and soft lawns, and we’ll check it works.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
About the menu

Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- Whether you need disposables
- The menu you choose
- Parking and the route in
- How many guests we’re serving
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
Not sure what you need yet? That’s fine: give us the basics about your party, and we’ll suggest a menu. To start, fill in our quote form.
Where the truck can go in Thorley

- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
Out-of-the-way places like Thorley take a little more planning, so let us know about tracks, gates and power in good time.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. 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.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
