Planning an event in Haylands?
Before you choose a spot
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Power and water, which we confirm with you for each booking
- A clear area in front of the bar
- A spot away from neighbours’ windows if the bar runs late
Haylands is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey and access for the truck or trailer.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
What we offer
- Soft drinks
- Margaritas
- Horchata
- Mexican beer
- Fruit aguas frescas
- Agua de jamaica (hibiscus)
Mexican bar hire in Haylands, from our food truck or trailer

A drinks bar makes a party in Haylands easy and sociable. Tell us about the drive, gates and power. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.

Haylands: venues, access and licensing
Haylands is about 1 mile south-west of Ryde, in the Isle of Wight. Tell us where your event in Haylands will be, and we will plan access and set-up before the day. We cover 125 places across the Isle of Wight, from the larger towns to small villages. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Haylands to Southampton (about 17 miles away).
Historic buildings near Haylands often have strict rules for outside caterers, so ask early if that’s your venue. Anyone leaving the car at home will want to know that the nearest station is Ryde St Johns Road station, about 0.9 miles north-east. With the sea within about 2 miles, a seaside drinks reception is an option. Seafront spots normally need permission, especially for alcohol, and the truck or trailer needs firm ground.
This part of the Isle of Wight takes in PO33, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. Local streets include Play Lane, Pell Lane and Upton Road; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Upton (1 mile south-west), Ryde (1 mile north-east), Oakfield (1 mile east), Binstead (1 mile north-west) and Elmfield (1 mile east). Larger places within reach include Newport (6 miles west), Cowes (6 miles north-west), Sandown (4 miles south), Shanklin (6 miles south), Ventnor (9 miles south) and East Cowes (5 miles north-west). For an event at a remote venue, tell us early so we can plan the journey, access and power.
A little further out are Sandown Castle (4.4 miles south) and Gosport War Memorial Hospital (5.3 miles north). Not far away are Alan Hersey Nature Reserve and Brading Down.
- Nearby schools include Ryde Academy (under half a mile north) and Ryde School with Upper Chine (0.8 miles north-east)

Comparing your options
A standard bar is fine, but a Mexican bar with margaritas and aguas frescas feels like part of the theme. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

How the day works
Once service is over, we pack up and leave our area tidy. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. A late-September party in Haylands loses the light at about 7:10pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. A late-May event keeps its daylight until about 8:55pm.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- We check the licensing with you.
- You choose the drinks with us.
- Our bar staff serve your guests at the agreed times.
- We clear the bar at the end.
How to prepare
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat

Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Seafront and beach spots generally need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
