Hosting a taco party in Branstone
Branstone is about 5 miles south-east of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Wherever your party is in the PO36 area, we’ll come to your venue or site. Branstone is one of 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight we cover. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 20 miles away.
For guests coming by train, the nearest station is Shanklin station, about 1.9 miles south-east. Families celebrating a christening at a church such as All Saints' Church might carry on at a garden or hall where we can park up. Near the coast, within about 3 miles, a beach-side party is tempting, but seafront spots need permission and firm ground for the truck or trailer.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
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.

A closer look at the menu
Loaded nachos
Nachos are a party favourite.
Salsas and guacamole
Salsas go on the side, so guests choose the heat.
How the day works
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a picture of the space if you are unsure.

- You choose fillings, sides and extras.
- We confirm power, water and the way in.
- Service starts at the agreed time.
- We tidy up and leave you to enjoy the party.
Preparing for the day

Questions from Branstone
Could you serve our guests after a service at All Saints' 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.
Which station should guests use for Branstone?
Shanklin station, about 1.9 miles south-east of the centre.
How big an event can you cater?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. For alcohol, we’ll go through the licensing with you and your venue.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Can you cater at a hired venue?
Generally, if there’s outdoor space to park and the venue’s permission. Check the venue allows a catering vehicle.
How much is a taco truck for a party?
Every party is quoted for individually, based on numbers, the menu and the location. For a price, send a quick message through our quote form.
