Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many staff you need
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Your choice of food and drinks
- How many guests we’re serving
What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- What power and water the site has
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Your menu ideas
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, drop us a line using the enquiry form.

Running an event in Gatcombe
Gatcombe is about 2 miles south of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Whether your event is in the middle of Gatcombe or on the outskirts, Mexican street food works the same way: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. Gatcombe is one of 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight where we can bring Mexican street food. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Gatcombe to Southampton (18 miles away).
Hot food from a truck or trailer could give a school fair, for a school such as Chillerton and Rookley Primary School, a busy corner.
Wherever your event is in PO30, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests. Local streets include Gatcombe Road, Rectory Lane and Newbarn Lane; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. If your venue is just outside Gatcombe, we also cover Chillerton (1 mile south), Plaish (2 miles north-west), Clatterford (2 miles north), Bowcombe (2 miles north-west) and Carisbrooke (2 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover Ryde (8 miles north-east), Cowes (6 miles north), Sandown (6 miles east), Shanklin (6 miles east), Ventnor (6 miles south-east) and East Cowes (6 miles north). For an event at a remote venue, let us know early and we will plan the trip and the route in for the truck or trailer.
Well-known places in the area include Carisbrooke Castle (1.6 miles north) and Isle of Wight Music Museum (2.5 miles north). Green spaces nearby include Briddlesford Nature Reserve and Brighstone Down.
- Local schools include Christ The King College (2.1 miles north)
Can I do a taco night myself?
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.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Planning the serving area
If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you. The main points are:
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
- Room for the truck or trailer and customers
Out-of-the-way places like Gatcombe take a little more planning, so let us know about tracks, gates and power in good time.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Gatcombe: your questions answered
Will you travel to a small place like Gatcombe?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Could you bring a taco truck to a school fair in Gatcombe?
Yes, with the school’s permission and a pitch the truck or trailer can reach. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
How spicy is the food?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Who clears up?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
What documents can you send?
Send us your list and we will respond.
For event organisers in Gatcombe
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
How the day works
Once service is over, we pack up and leave our area tidy. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. For an evening event in Gatcombe, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the trading area needs lighting from the organiser or the site.

- Orders are served from the hatch while the event runs.
