Afton Park weddings: local tips
Afton Park is about 6 miles south of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight. Tell us where your wedding in Afton Park will be, and we will plan the journey and set-up before the day. We cover all 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 18 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Mottistone Manor (3.8 miles south-east). A listed house can make a beautiful backdrop, but many have firm rules on vehicles, so raise the food truck with them at your first visit. Couples who choose a church such as St. Agnes' Church for the ceremony often pick a reception spot a short drive away. We can set up while the photos are taken. Couples near the coast, within about 2 miles of Afton Park, sometimes want a beach feel. We need firm ground for the truck or trailer, so a clifftop lawn or venue car park may suit better than the sand.
We cover weddings in every part of the PO40 postcode area. Your wedding could be at a home on Manor Road, Newport Road and Southdown Road. If your venue is just outside Afton Park, we also cover Afton (1 mile west), Easton (1 mile west), Freshwater (1 mile north-west), Norton Green (1 mile north-west) and Colwell (2 miles north-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Newport (9 miles east), Ryde (15 miles east), Cowes (10 miles north-east), Sandown (15 miles east), Shanklin (15 miles east) and Ventnor (14 miles south-east). If your wedding is somewhere remote, let us know early and we’ll plan the trip and the route in for the truck or trailer.
Nearby you will also find Medina (1.6 miles west) and Yarmouth Castle (2.2 miles north). The countryside around Afton Park includes Afton Down and Lymington and Keyhaven Marshes Nature Reserve.
- Nearby, you’ll find The Red Lion pub (0.7 miles north)
Wedding Mexican catering in Afton Park, from our food truck or trailer
Evening food needs to be quick and filling, and tacos or loaded nachos from our food truck or trailer fit the bill without stopping the dancing for long. On the menu are loaded nachos, tacos and burrito bowls, and it is a good fit for food for evening guests and day-after celebrations.
Rural weddings around Afton Park have a charm of their own, and tacos served from a truck in a field add to it. Plan access, ground and cover in case of rain. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

What affects the price in Afton Park
We’ll give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- The menu you choose
- How many guests we are serving
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Timings and hours
Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- The date and time of the event
- What power and water the site has
- The venue or postcode
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you need. To ask for one, send a quick message through our quote form.
Working with your venue
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Should I do it myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.

Afton Park: your questions answered
Will you travel to a small place like Afton Park?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Do you cater at coastal events near Afton Park?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
Is Mexican street food too casual for a wedding?
It can be as relaxed or as polished as you like, depending on the presentation and the venue.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you cook on site?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will go through the licensing with you.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will recommend how to serve.
What if the photos overrun?
We plan for it. Food is served to order, so we can start when you are ready.
How it compares
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen and a larger team. Our truck or trailer brings its own kitchen, and the style is more relaxed. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
Why us?
- Service planned around your numbers
- Tacos, burritos and a drinks bar
- A plan agreed before the day
