Planning an event in Northwood?
Northwood: your questions answered
Could you serve our guests after a service at All Saints' Church?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Can you serve near the sea around Northwood?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades typically need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Do you cover Northwood?
Yes, we do. We serve at events in Northwood and across the Isle of Wight. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
How spicy is the food?
It is up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
How much does wedding Mexican catering cost in Northwood?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually need. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
How our wedding Mexican catering works in Northwood
Your wedding menu is agreed with you, with fillings such as slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, plus vegan options like spiced mushrooms or black beans. At engagement celebrations and sharing-style wedding meals, we will put together a menu of burrito bowls, loaded nachos and evening tacos and more.
A wedding in a small place like Northwood often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A truck or trailer works well there: no venue kitchen needed, just level, firm ground and a way in. Let us know about access, ground, power and water. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is included
- Travel and parking costs
- What happens if it rains
- Where to see their hygiene rating
Can I do a taco night myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
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.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Send us the running order and speech times
- Let us know about supplier meals
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
- Tell us about guests with coeliac disease or severe allergies
We pack down after service; you carry on celebrating.
Quesadillas go down well with children at the wedding breakfast.
What affects the price in Northwood
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- What the venue already provides
- Guest numbers
- What’s on the menu
- How long we are needed on site
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.

- What power and water the site has
- Diets and allergies you know about

Is wedding Mexican catering right for your wedding?
Choosing between tacos and a traditional menu?, consider the venue, the diets and the style you want. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.

Space, access and the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- A serving spot close to the marquee or reception area
- Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
Northwood is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey and access for the truck or trailer.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
