Hosting a taco party in Rookley
Rookley is about 3 miles south of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Anywhere in PO38, we can bring the truck or trailer to you, as long as there’s access. We cater in 125 places in the Isle of Wight. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 19 miles away.

Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as St. Olave's Church, with a party at home or in a hall afterwards. Near the coast, within about 6 miles, a beach-side party is tempting, but seafront spots need permission and firm ground for the truck or trailer.

Rookley questions
Which station is closest to Rookley?
Shanklin station, about 4.7 miles east of the centre.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St. Olave's Church?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
What do you serve?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Do you cover Rookley?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Rookley is within our area and the rest of the Isle of Wight. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Is my garden suitable?
It depends on the access and the ground. Tell us about gates, slopes and soft lawns, and we’ll confirm.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll suggest mild options.
Can you cater a party at a village hall?
Normally. We need firm, level ground outside, access and the venue’s agreement, with power and water confirmed when you book.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Should I do it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Access wide and high enough to drive in, with gates and soft lawns checked first
- Agreement from the venue to bring a food truck or trailer on site
- A photo of the drive or garden helps us check the space
Out-of-the-way places like Rookley take a little more planning, so let us know about tracks, gates and power in good time.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
