Running a fête for a church like St. Mary's Church? A Mexican street-food truck draws people in. Hot food from a truck or trailer could give a school fair, for a school such as St Thomas of Canterbury Catholic Primary School, a busy corner. The coast is within about 5 miles of Carisbrooke, so for seaside events we plan a sheltered pitch, on firm ground rather than sand.
Here we cover the PO30 postcode area, so your event can be anywhere in it. Your event could be at a home on Down Lane, Purdy Road and Castle Lane or the roads around them. Nearby, we also cater events in Clatterford (1 mile south), Gunville (1 mile north), Plaish (1 mile south-west), Bowcombe (1 mile south-west) and Gatcombe (2 miles south). Larger places within reach include Ryde (7 miles east), Cowes (5 miles north), Sandown (7 miles east), Shanklin (7 miles south-east), Ventnor (8 miles south-east) and East Cowes (5 miles north). Remote venues take a little more planning, so contact us in good time about access, ground and power.

What Mexican street food costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Food, drinks or both
- The number of people
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Where the event is
- A picture of where we’d park
- The date and time of the event
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. When you are ready, tell us about it on our contact page.

Where the truck can go in Carisbrooke
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- The event’s site rules and timings
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
- Vehicle access to the pitch for set-up and break-down
Carisbrooke is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey and access for the truck or trailer.

What happens on the day
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive and set up, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. A December market in Carisbrooke loses the light at about 4:00pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:20pm.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, our pitch needs and the paperwork your event asks for.
- On the day, we arrive in the set-up window and get ready to trade.
- We serve from the hatch through the trading times you set.
- We pack away and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
