St Helens: your questions answered
Do you cater at coastal events near St Helens?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades typically need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Which station should guests use for St Helens?
Guests can use Brading station, about 1.8 miles south-west of St Helens.
What drinks do you serve?
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, plus soft drinks. We plan the list with you.
Do you do drinks only?
Yes, though it pairs well with tacos. Our Mexican catering can be added too.
How long do you serve for?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book.
Who handles the licensing?
That depends on your venue. If the venue has no licence, a Temporary Event Notice may be needed. We talk it through with you.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll recommend how to serve.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Step by step
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain does not normally stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. In December, the light goes in St Helens at about 4:00pm, so an outdoor bar needs lighting from the start. Midsummer is the opposite, with daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We talk through 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.
Before we arrive
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Share the running order, including any speeches

DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.

A Mexican drinks bar in St Helens: local tips
St Helens is about 3 miles south-east of Ryde, in the Isle of Wight. Whether your event is in the middle of St Helens or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We cater in all 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater right across the region, from St Helens to Southampton (20 miles away).
Guests travelling by rail: the nearest station is Brading station, about 1.8 miles south-west. Historic buildings near St Helens often have strict rules for outside caterers, so ask early if that is your venue. The coast is within about 4 miles of St Helens. Wind, sand and the rules on alcohol in public places all need planning for a seaside bar.
We cover events in every part of PO33 and the streets around it. Whether your event is on Station Road, Upper Green Road and Old Chapel Lane or anywhere nearby, we will plan where to park and serve. We also serve at events in Gaskins (1 mile south-west), Brading (2 miles south-west), Yarbridge (2 miles south-west), Morton (2 miles south-west) and Yaverland (3 miles south-west). Larger places within reach include Newport (8 miles west), Ryde (3 miles north-west), Cowes (9 miles north-west), Sandown (4 miles south-west), Shanklin (5 miles south-west) and Ventnor (8 miles south-west). Remote venues take a little more planning, so contact us in good time about access, ground and power.
Nearby you will also find Cothey Bottom Heritage Centre (1.5 miles north-west) and Sandown Castle (3.2 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Alan Hersey Nature Reserve and Bembridge Down.
- Nearby, you will find The Vine Inn (within half a mile north)
Why choose Mexican bar hire in St Helens?
It works on its own or with our food.

- Summer garden parties
- Milestone birthdays
- Anniversaries and engagements
- Mexican-themed parties
Nearby historic houses include Yaverland Manor (2.1 miles south-west) and Nunwell House (2.3 miles south-west). Grand houses and estates tend to have firm rules on alcohol and outside bars, so raise the drinks bar with them early.

- How each diet is kept separate
- Who provides plates and napkins
- The deadline for final numbers

Before you choose a spot
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- The right licence for alcohol: the venue’s licence or a Temporary Event Notice
- Space for guests to queue at the bar
- Details of power and water on site
For somewhere as remote as St Helens, early notice helps us plan the trip, the route in and power.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.
