About our Mexican street food in Branstone
Few stalls draw a queue like a Mexican food truck. People follow the smell of warm tortillas, and orders come out fast from the hatch. It suits food and music festivals and feeding crew and volunteers, serving tacos, quesadillas and burrito bowls.
At a fête or field event near Branstone, a truck or trailer brings hot food to a rural site. Ground conditions and access matter, so tell us about them. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Branstone is about 5 miles south-east of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Give us the address of your event in Branstone, and we will plan access and set-up. Branstone is one of 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight where we can bring Mexican street food. Our nearest city page is Portsmouth, about 12 miles away.
For a public event, it helps to tell people that the nearest station is Shanklin station, about 1.9 miles south-east.

Questions from Branstone
Could you come to a seaside event near Branstone?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Seafront and beach spots normally need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Could you bring a taco truck to a school fair in Branstone?
We can, as long as the school agrees and the truck or trailer can reach the pitch. Tell us the date, the site and roughly how many visitors you expect.
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.
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 suggest the best set-up.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
Can you bring margaritas?
Our drinks bar can be added where the event’s licensing allows. We’ll go through the licensing with you.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we’ll keep their options separate.
What do you need at the pitch?
Send pitch details and we will confirm.
How the day works
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can spend time with your guests. A December market in Branstone loses the light at about 4:00pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:20pm.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we will serve and where.
- We send the paperwork your event asks for.
- The hatch opens when the event does.
- We trade, then pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
