Thorncross parties: what to know
Thorncross is about 6 miles south-west of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Across the PO30 area, we can bring the truck or trailer to you, as long as there is access. Thorncross is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight where we can bring Mexican party catering. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Thorncross to Southampton (about 20 miles away).
Once the service at a church like St. Mary's Church is over, the party can move somewhere with space for the truck and a queue.
For Mexican party catering in PO30, we plan around your venue and the route in and your guests. If your venue is just outside Thorncross, we also cover Brighstone (1 mile north-west), Moortown (1 mile north-west), Shorwell (1 mile north-east), Little Atherfield (2 miles south-east) and Atherfield Green (2 miles south-east). We also cater in nearby towns such as Newport (6 miles north-east), Ryde (11 miles north-east), Cowes (9 miles north), Sandown (10 miles east), Shanklin (9 miles east) and Ventnor (8 miles east). For a party at a remote venue, tell us early so we can plan the journey, access and power.
Other landmarks nearby include Whitecroft Hospital (4.4 miles north-east) and The Dinosaur Farm Museum (0.5 miles south-east). Not far away are Brighstone Down.
- Pubs nearby include The Countryman pub (0.7 miles north)
Catering for every guest
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Arrange a gazebo in case of rain
- Collect dietary needs with your invites
- Have bins ready
- Tell us about any severe allergies before the party
When you’re ready to eat, we start serving.
Our drinks bar for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
How it compares
A home-made buffet takes hours to prepare and leaves food sitting out. Tacos and burritos are served hot, order by order. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Your quote confirms the full price.

- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer

DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run behind, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can. In Thorncross, it’s 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.
- We start by checking your date and the space.
- You choose fillings, sides and extras.
- We confirm power, water and the way in.
- Service starts at the agreed time.
- We pack away and the party carries on.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer

Common questions in Thorncross
Could you serve our guests after a service at St. Mary's Church?

Do you come out to small places like Thorncross?
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.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
How long do you serve for?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.

Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
