Mexican catering in PO31: what to expect
Our truck and trailer service tends to suit around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case, so tell us your numbers. It works well for office lunches and team days and wedding breakfasts and evening food, serving tacos, a build-your-own taco bar and loaded nachos.
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A photo of the space helps.
- First, send us a few details about your event.
- We suggest fillings and extras and send a quote.
- We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- On the day we park up, set up and serve hot food to order.
- Once service ends, we clear away.
What it costs in PO31
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Around Cowes
Events here might be close to Isle of Wight Studio School, Cowes Enterprise College and St. Faith's Church, among other places. Other local landmarks include The Painters Arms (0.5 miles north-east) and Cowes Primary School (less than half a mile north). Nearby you’ll also find Isle of Wight Natural History Centre (0.5 miles south-west) and West Cowes Castle (0.7 miles north). Open spaces near Cowes include Briddlesford Nature Reserve and Mill Hill.
Planning a food truck in PO31
PO31 covers everything from Cowes, Barton and Hunny Hill to 5 small villages and hamlets, and a food truck or trailer can work in all of them, given access. In towns, plan parking and loading; in villages, tell us about lanes, gates and ground. Around 9 places in PO31 are close to the coast, so we often plan around the wind at coastal events.
Cowes: Historic houses near Cowes include Osborne House (1.7 miles east) and Carisbrooke Castle (4.8 miles south). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and vehicles early. By road, Cowes is on or near the A3020 and B3320, which makes it easy for us to reach with the truck or trailer. A December event in Cowes will be in the dark from about 4:00pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
Why street food works
It handles mixed diets without fuss, because guests choose their own fillings and toppings. Vegans and vegetarians eat as well as anyone else.
We can help if you’re planning any of the following:
- Birthday parties
- Fundraisers and school events
- Leaving dos and retirement parties
- Wedding breakfasts and evening food
What we need at the venue
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- What’s on the menu
- Parking and the route in
- Guest numbers
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food

What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- A photo of the space, if it is a garden or field
- The date and time of the event
- The address or venue name
- Expected numbers
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
How it compares
Cold buffets are easy, but the food sits out. Our food is served hot, one order at a time.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if it rains
- Allergen information for each dish
- How many staff are serving, and for how long
- Who provides plates and napkins
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
FAQs for PO31
Can you cater for special diets?
We plan carefully for diets and keep options separate, but we can’t promise a kitchen without traces of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll check the licensing with you.
Can you serve in bad weather?
The truck or trailer serves in the rain, though guests need a covered place to eat.
How much does Mexican catering cost?
We do not publish set prices, because every event is different. Send your details and you’ll get a quote for your event.
Do you cater for big events?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Bigger festivals and smaller parties are looked at case by case.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we will suggest the best set-up.
