Your questions about Mexican bar hire in Blackgang
Could you come to a seaside event near Blackgang?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades generally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
We’re having a ceremony at St Andrew's Church: can you cater afterwards?
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 cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms, served alongside the meat options.
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Will someone run the bar?
Yes, our bar staff serve your guests. Responsible serving comes first.
Do we need a licence for the bar?
You will need either the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We’ll go through the licensing with you. GOV.UK explains Temporary Event Notices.
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Is the food suitable for children?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
How it compares
With tacos on the menu, margaritas and Mexican beer fit perfectly. Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

A Mexican drinks bar in Blackgang: local tips
Blackgang is about 6 miles south-west of Shanklin, in the Isle of Wight. For an event in Blackgang, we can serve in gardens, fields, venues, car parks and courtyards with access in and around Blackgang. We cater in 125 places across the Isle of Wight. We cater right across the region, from Blackgang to Southampton (about 23 miles away).
Older venues around Blackgang may restrict vehicles and outside drinks service, so confirm what’s allowed before you book. Nearby historic houses include Wolverton Manor (4.1 miles north-west) and Westcourt Manor (4.3 miles north-west). Grand houses and estates tend to have firm rules on alcohol and outside bars, so raise the drinks bar with them early. The coast is within about 5 miles, close enough for drinks by the sea. Seafront spots usually need permission, especially for alcohol, and the truck or trailer needs firm ground.
Wherever your event is in PO38, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Chale (1 mile north-west), Niton (1 mile east), Puckaster (1 mile south-east), Pyle (1 mile north-west) and Bierley (1 mile north-east). Larger places within reach include Newport (8 miles north), Ryde (11 miles north-east), Cowes (12 miles north), Sandown (8 miles north-east), Shanklin (6 miles north-east) and Ventnor (4 miles east). Remote venues take a little more planning, so contact us in good time about access, ground and power.
Well-known places in the area include Blackgang Sawmill Museum (less than half a mile west) and Whitecroft Hospital (5.7 miles north). Open spaces near Blackgang include Stenbury Down.
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 enjoy the party, let us serve.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.

How it works
When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. In December, the light goes in Blackgang at about 4:00pm, so an outdoor bar needs lighting from the start. At midsummer, by contrast, sunset is around 9:20pm.
- We check availability.
- We suggest margaritas, beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free choices.
- We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- When the bar shuts, we clear away.
