Food truck hire in Nettlestone, served fresh
Pair the truck with our Mexican drinks bar for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. We can add a taco-bar station next to the truck. For end-of-year celebrations and anniversary celebrations, we will put together a menu of tacos from the hatch, burrito bowls and quesadillas and more.
In a hamlet or village like Nettlestone, our truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests queue at the hatch, so have some cover ready in case of rain. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Hiring a food truck in Nettlestone
Nettlestone is about 2 miles east of Ryde, in the Isle of Wight. Wherever your event is in the PO34 area, we can bring the truck or trailer to you. Nettlestone is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight we cover. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Nettlestone to Portsmouth (7 miles away).
The B3340 serve Nettlestone, so the drive to your event is a simple one for us. Nearby historic houses include Nunwell House (2.8 miles south-west) and Yaverland Manor (3 miles south). Historic houses and estates typically have firm rules on vehicles, so ask where a hired food truck could park before booking. With the coast within about 3 miles of Nettlestone, wind is worth planning for. A sheltered, firm spot for the truck or trailer and the queue works best.
We serve at events all over PO34 and the streets around it. We can cater an event on streets such as Caws Avenue, Willowtree Drive and Ashtree Way. You’ll find Nettlestone on the B3340, which makes it straightforward to bring the truck or trailer.

Your questions about food truck hire in Nettlestone
Do you come out to small places like Nettlestone?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Can we hire your food truck for a private party in Nettlestone?
Yes, subject to the date and access for the truck or trailer. Let us know about access and where we’d park.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will talk it through.
How long do you serve for?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
Can you keep it mild?
That is your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Do you cover Nettlestone?
We do. Nettlestone is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Count children separately
- Look into parking permissions if the truck cannot go off-road
- Agree service times with us
- Send allergy details in writing
Running late? Tell us, and we’ll work around it.
Ask about a second service later in the evening, quoted with the main booking.

- Travel, parking and access

Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Where the event is
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Expected numbers
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.
The process
Your timings come first. If things run behind, let us know and we will adjust where we can. By late September, it is dark in Nettlestone at around 7:10pm, so a later service will need some lighting. A late-May event keeps its light until roughly 8:55pm.
- Tell us what the event is and who’s coming.
- Together we plan dishes that cover your guests’ diets.
- Power, water and timings are agreed with you or the venue.
- The truck serves at the agreed times.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
Preparing for the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Find out what power and water are available
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
