Getting married in Forest Side?
Forest Side is about 1 mile north-west of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. From the centre of Forest Side to the outskirts, wedding Mexican catering works the same way: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We cover all 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Forest Side to Southampton (15 miles away).
With a ceremony at a church such as St. Mary's Church, the simplest plan is a reception close by, so guests aren’t travelling far before they eat. Historic houses near Forest Side include Carisbrooke Castle (1.3 miles south) and Swainston Manor (2.7 miles south-west). Couples booking a stately setting should check where a truck or trailer is allowed to park before signing anything. Couples near the coast, within about 4 miles of Forest Side, 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.

Questions from Forest Side
Could you serve our guests after a service at St. Mary's Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Will you travel to a small place like Forest Side?
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.
What about supplier meals?
Of course. Include suppliers in your numbers and we’ll plan for them.
Do you need electricity?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we’ll park.
Is the food made fresh?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll suggest the best set-up.
Is a taco bar smart enough for a wedding?
With good presentation, it feels like a celebration.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll suggest mild options.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
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.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP cards
- Ask whether your venue allows food trucks
- Flag any coeliac guests or serious allergies
- Count day and evening guests separately
Evening food is served at the agreed time, often after the first dance.
Extra salsas and toppings make the taco bar look generous.
How it works
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. For a summer wedding in Forest Side, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means evening food is usually served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
- We start by checking your date.
- You choose the fillings, sides and extras.
- We confirm access and the serving spot with your coordinator.
- Food is served from the taco bar or the hatch.
- We serve, then pack down.
Getting ready for the day
- Find out what power and water are available
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers

Space, access and the venue
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but there are a few things to check:
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
Out-of-the-way places like Forest Side take a little more planning, so let us know about tracks, gates and power in good time.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
