Gaskins questions
What’s the nearest station to Gaskins for guests?
The closest is Brading station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Can you serve near the sea around Gaskins?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Seafront and beach spots usually need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Can you cater for special diets?
We keep vegetarian and vegan fillings separate. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the party.
When should I book?
Early is best, but ask even if it is soon. We’ll check availability for you.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
How is the food prepared?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we will talk it through.
Can you serve from my drive or garden?
That depends on the way in and the ground. Let us know about gates, slopes and soft grass, and we will check it works.

How it works
Once service is over, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. A summer party in Gaskins stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You pick the fillings and extras.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- Service starts at the agreed time.
- We pack away and the party carries on.
Before we arrive
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in

DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
What affects the price in Gaskins
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How many staff you need
- Travel, parking and access
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Timings and hours
Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
What we need to know
The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- How we drive in and where we can park
- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.
Perfect for your party in Gaskins

Questions to ask before booking
- How dietary needs and allergies are handled
- What the price includes, item by item
- Space, access, power and water needs
- A food hygiene rating you can check
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Ensure most people can sit to eat
- Make sure there is a vegan option
- Put severe allergies to us in writing
At food time, we open the hatch, while you enjoy your guests.
Margaritas and Mexican beer from our drinks bar, with licensing checked with you.
Comparing your options
A hog roast is great for meat lovers, but harder for vegetarians and vegans. Separate fillings cover every diet. Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.
Why book with us
- A quote that sets out what’s included
- Events in Gaskins and across the Isle of Wight
