About our wedding Mexican catering in Alverstone Garden Village
Wedding taco bars feel relaxed, generous and a little different. Everyone fills their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, and the queue turns into part of the fun. We serve a taco bar for the wedding breakfast, tacos and quesadillas, which works well for receptions after a small ceremony and gatherings the day after a wedding.
A wedding in a small place like Alverstone Garden Village often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A truck or trailer works well there: no kitchen, just firm ground and access. Let us know about access, ground, power and water. Everything is prepared fresh for your wedding and served from our food truck or trailer.

Weddings in Alverstone Garden Village: venues, ceremonies and travel
Alverstone Garden Village is about 4 miles south of Ryde, in the Isle of Wight. Give us the address of your wedding in Alverstone Garden Village, and we will plan the journey and set-up. We cater in 125 places across the Isle of Wight, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater right across the region, from Alverstone Garden Village to Southampton (about 20 miles away).
With a ceremony at a church such as All Saints' Church, the simplest plan is a reception close by, so guests are not travelling far before they eat. Service can start as guests arrive. For outdoor photos, Alverstone Mead is close by. Couples near the coast, within about 2 miles of Alverstone Garden Village, 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.
