Rookley: your questions answered
Do you cater at coastal events near Rookley?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades usually need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Do you cater in villages like Rookley?
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.
Can you cater the whole day?
We can. We can do a taco bar for the main meal and tacos or nachos for the evening.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms, served alongside the meat options.
Where do you cater?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
What if our speeches run late?
It happens at most weddings. Food is served to order, so we can start when you are ready.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food.
Do you do a wedding bar?
Yes, our Mexican drinks bar serves margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. Licensing is checked with you and the venue.
About our wedding Mexican catering in Rookley
Wedding taco bars feel relaxed, generous and a little different. Everyone fills their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, and the queue becomes a chance to chat. It suits day-after wedding get-togethers and blessings and vow renewals, serving evening tacos, quesadillas and tacos.
There is something special about a country wedding near Rookley, and a food truck by the barn or marquee adds to it. Plan for access, soft ground and wet-weather cover for guests. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

The process
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. Late-September weddings in Rookley see the sun go down at about 7:10pm, which can put the evening food just after dusk. A late-May wedding keeps its light until roughly 8:55pm.

What wedding Mexican catering costs
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- What’s on the menu
- Timings and hours
- How many staff you need
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:

We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Comparing your options
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen and a larger team. Our food truck or trailer brings its own kitchen, and a taco bar feels more relaxed. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for wedding Mexican catering. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
Why book with us
- Allergen-aware menus
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- Served fresh from our truck or trailer
- Events in Rookley and across the Isle of Wight

Getting married in Rookley?
Rookley is about 3 miles south of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Give us the address of your wedding in Rookley, and we will plan access and set-up. We serve in all 125 towns and villages across the Isle of Wight. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 19 miles away.
It helps to add rail details to the invitations, as the nearest station is Shanklin station, about 4.7 miles east. If you’re marrying at a church near Rookley, such as St. Olave's Church, a reception in a garden, field or venue nearby keeps the day flowing. We can set up while the photos are taken. Couples near the coast, within about 6 miles of Rookley, 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 PO38 postcode area and the streets around it. Local streets include Manor Crescent, Niton Road and Main Road; for a wedding at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. Neighbouring places where we cater weddings include Rookley Green (1 mile south), Merstone (1 mile north-east), Blackwater (1 mile north), Godshill (2 miles south-east) and Sandford (2 miles south-east). We also cater in nearby towns such as Newport (3 miles north), Ryde (7 miles north-east), Cowes (7 miles north), Sandown (5 miles east), Shanklin (5 miles east) and Ventnor (5 miles south-east). If your wedding is somewhere remote, tell us early so we can plan the journey, access and power.
Nearby you’ll also find Carisbrooke Castle (2.7 miles north-west) and Whitecroft Hospital (1.6 miles north-west). Not far away are Stenbury Down and Alverstone Mead.
- Local pubs include Chequers Inn (0.7 miles south)
DIY taco night versus a caterer
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. Read our guide to taco bars.
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.
Events we cater in Rookley

Planning the serving area
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Hardstanding or firm, level ground to park on
- A sensible distance from buildings and neighbours
Out-of-the-way places like Rookley take a little more planning, so let us know about tracks, gates and power in good time.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
