DIY taco night or a caterer?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.

Nettlecombe events: pitches and permissions
Nettlecombe is about 7 miles south of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Whether your event is in the middle of Nettlecombe 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. Nettlecombe is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight where we can bring Mexican street food. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Nettlecombe to Portsmouth (16 miles away).
For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as Water Hydrant Opposite Parish Church, a taco truck adds hot food to the cakes and tombola. A school such as The Island Free School running a summer fair could book a taco truck. The coast is within about 3 miles of Nettlecombe, so for seaside events we plan a sheltered pitch, on firm ground rather than sand.
For Mexican street food in PO38, we plan around your venue and the route in and your guests. For events just outside Nettlecombe, we cover Southford (1 mile north-west), Bierley (1 mile west), Wroxall (2 miles north-east), Godshill (2 miles north) and Sandford (2 miles north). Larger places within reach include Newport (7 miles north), Ryde (9 miles north-east), Cowes (11 miles north), Sandown (6 miles north-east), Shanklin (4 miles north-east) and East Cowes (11 miles north). Some remote venues need extra planning, so ask early about your event.
Well-known places in the area include Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children (4.1 miles north-east) and South Wight (2.6 miles east). Open spaces near Nettlecombe include Stenbury Down.
- Pubs nearby include The White Horse Inn (under half a mile south-west)
What we need at the venue
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- Spacing from tents and other structures
- Clear information on power, water and waste
- The event’s site rules and timings
Nettlecombe is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey and access for the truck or trailer.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.

Common questions in Nettlecombe
Can you serve near the sea around Nettlecombe?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades normally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Could you bring a taco truck to a school fair in Nettlecombe?
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 spicy is the food?
That is your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes. We serve vegan fillings such as black beans or spiced mushrooms.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Is the food made fresh?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
