Wedding Mexican catering near Shalfleet
DIY taco night or a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.

The process
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. December weddings in Shalfleet lose the light by about 4:00pm, so evening guests will be queuing in the dark. Ask your venue what outdoor lighting it has near where we’ll park.
- Tell us the date, the venue, day and evening numbers and your plans.
- You get a suggested wedding menu and a quote to match.
- Timings and where the truck or trailer will stand are agreed with your venue.
- We arrive, set up and serve the food at the agreed times.
- We pack down after service and leave our area tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Name one person we can ask on the day

What we need at the venue
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- The venue’s or landowner’s permission for a catering vehicle
- Clear vehicle access: gate widths, height limits and the ground checked before the day
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
For somewhere as remote as Shalfleet, early notice helps us plan the trip, the route in and power.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.

FAQs for Shalfleet
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St. Michael the Archangel?
Yes. The church itself is not 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’ll check the access.
Can you serve near the sea around Shalfleet?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
What’s on the menu?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Do you need electricity?
Let us know what’s available on site, for example a supply from the venue, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
What do you need at the venue?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Do you cater for suppliers?
Just add them to your numbers. Let us know when they need feeding.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.

Shalfleet is about 5 miles west of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Give us the address of your wedding in Shalfleet, and we’ll plan access and set-up.

Looking for a natural setting for portraits? Westover Down is within easy reach of Shalfleet. With a ceremony at a church such as Church of St. Michael the Archangel, the simplest plan is a reception close by, so guests aren’t travelling far before they eat. Service can start as guests arrive. Couples near the coast, within about 6 miles of Shalfleet, 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.
