Havenstreet: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Havenstreet?
The closest is Smallbrook Junction station, roughly 2.2 miles away.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St. Peter's Church?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we’ll talk it through.
What is mobile Mexican catering?
We park our truck or trailer at your venue and serve hot Mexican street food from it. A build-your-own taco bar is another option.
Can you set up at our venue?
Level, firm ground, access for the truck or trailer and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water when you book.
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.
Should I do it myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Havenstreet: venues, access and local tips
Havenstreet is about 2 miles south-west of Ryde, in the Isle of Wight. From the centre of Havenstreet to the outskirts, Mexican catering works the same way: fresh service from our truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We serve in 125 places 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 Havenstreet to Portsmouth (9 miles away).
If people are travelling in by rail, the nearest station is Smallbrook Junction station, about 2.2 miles east. Historic houses near Havenstreet include Nunwell House (2.8 miles south-east) and Arreton Manor (2.8 miles south-west). Estates and historic houses tend to set their own rules for caterers, so find out what yours allows first. Havenstreet is within about 3 miles of the sea, so for a seaside event we plan around the wind. The truck or trailer needs firm ground rather than sand or shingle, and seafront spots typically need permission from the council or landowner.

We can cater an event on streets such as Church Road, Elizabeth Gardens and Church Lane. For events just outside Havenstreet, we cover Fishbourne (1 mile north), Wootton (2 miles north-west), Hillgrove (2 miles west), Staplers (3 miles west) and Fairlee (3 miles west). Further out, we also cater in Newport (4 miles west), Cowes (6 miles north-west), Sandown (4 miles south-east), Shanklin (6 miles south), Ventnor (8 miles south) and East Cowes (5 miles north-west). Remote venues take a little more planning, so contact us in good time about access, ground and power.
Other landmarks nearby include The Donald Mcgill Museum (2.4 miles north-east) and Sandown Castle (4.4 miles south-east). The countryside around Havenstreet includes Briddlesford Nature Reserve and Brading Down.

Mexican catering or something else?
Cold buffets are easy, but the food sits out. Tacos and burritos are made to order and served hot. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
