The process
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. Winter receptions in Gunville are dark by about 4:00pm in December, so plan where guests will gather, and how it will be lit. 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.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- When the bar shuts, we clear away.
Getting ready for the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely

Gunville: venues, access and licensing
Gunville is about 1 mile west of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. For Mexican bar hire in Gunville, we plan around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and friendly service on the day.

Historic houses near Gunville include Carisbrooke Castle (0.8 miles south-east) and Swainston Manor (2.5 miles west).

Older venues around Gunville may restrict vehicles and outside drinks service, so confirm what’s allowed before you book. Drinks by the sea could work, as Gunville is within about 5 miles of the coast. Licensing on the seafront needs checking, and we’ll do that with you.

Gunville: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at St. Mary's Church?
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 will check the access.
Could you come to a seaside event near Gunville?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
How much is a food truck for an event?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Send us the details for a quote.
When do you arrive?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Can you keep it mild?
That’s your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
Is the food made fresh?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can children have drinks from the bar?
Every bar has alcohol-free choices, including aguas frescas and soft drinks.
Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Guest numbers
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Travel, parking and access
- How long we’re needed on site
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The date and time of the event
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- A picture of where we’d park
- Roughly how many adults and children
Send us the date, your venue or PO30 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and you’ll get menu ideas and a price. To get started, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Occasions we cater for in Gunville
It is ideal for warm evenings in a garden, field or marquee.
We cater all kinds of occasions in Gunville and nearby. Popular bookings include:

- Whether plates, napkins and cutlery are included
- What happens if it rains
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. 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.
Tips for a smooth bar
A few tips to help the bar run smoothly:
- Plan alcohol-free drinks for drivers
- Collect allergy details in advance
- Find out if you need a Temporary Event Notice
- Think about how guests get home
Responsible serving comes first: no alcohol for under-18s, and we may refuse service to anyone who has had too much.
