- We agree where the bar goes.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- We tidy up at the end.

How it compares
DIY bars leave you handling licensing and staffing. We’ll talk licensing through with you and bring bar staff. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.

Questions from Rookley
Could you come to a seaside event near Rookley?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades usually need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
We’re having a ceremony at St. Olave'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 keep it mild?
That is your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
How much does the drinks bar cost?
There’s no fixed price list, as each event is different. Tell us your plans for a quote.
Do you have alcohol-free drinks?
There are always alcohol-free options, from aguas frescas to soft drinks.
Do you need power and water?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Is the food made fresh?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can you do dairy-free food?
We can. We offer dairy-free options.
Rookley: venues, access and licensing
Rookley is about 3 miles south of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. For an event in Rookley, we can serve in gardens, fields, venues, car parks and courtyards with access in and around Rookley. Rookley is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight we cover. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 19 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Sheat Manor (1 mile west) and Gatcombe House (1.1 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. Once the ceremony at a church like St. Olave's Church is over, guests may be glad of a cold drink at the reception venue. Drinks by the sea could work, as Rookley is within about 6 miles of the coast. Licensing on the seafront needs checking, and we will do that with you.
Anywhere in PO38, we can bring Mexican bar hire to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Local streets include Manor Crescent, Niton Road and Main Road; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. Close by, we cover events in Rookley Green (1 mile south), Merstone (1 mile north-east), Blackwater (1 mile north), Godshill (2 miles south-east) and Sandford (2 miles south-east). Larger places within reach include Newport (3 miles north), Ryde (7 miles north-east), Cowes (7 miles north), Sandown (5 miles east), Shanklin (5 miles east) and Ventnor (5 miles south-east). Some remote venues need extra planning, so contact us in good time about access, ground and power.
A little further out are Carisbrooke Castle (2.7 miles north-west) and Whitecroft Hospital (1.6 miles north-west). The countryside around Rookley includes Stenbury Down and Alverstone Mead.
