Mexican street food for Appley events
Mexican street food in Appley, served fresh
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance and kept hot on site, which keeps the queue moving at busy times. For food markets and crew and volunteer catering, we’ll put together a menu of loaded nachos, burritos and burrito bowls.
Around Appley, a fête or summer fair suits a food truck. Send us the pitch and access details. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Appley is about 1 mile east of Ryde, in the Isle of Wight. Tell us where your event in Appley will be, and we will plan access and set-up. Appley is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight we cover. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Appley to Southampton (17 miles away).
A school such as Oakfield Church of England Aided Primary School running a summer fair could book a taco truck. The A3055 make Appley an easy place for us to reach on event day. Within about a mile of the sea, coastal events bring wind and sand into the plan. A firm, sheltered pitch suits a truck or trailer best.
Here we cover the PO33 and PO34 postcode area, so your event can be anywhere in it. Streets in the area include Park Road, Rink Road and Hope Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Mexican street food or something else?
Some street food is slow to serve one order at a time. With fillings prepared ahead, service is fast. Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades generally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.

Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll suggest the best set-up.
Do you need electricity?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we will park.

Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. For alcohol, we will talk licensing through with you and your venue.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Is the food made fresh?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
What affects the price in Appley

- Distance and access to the venue

- The number of people
