Norton events: pitches and permissions
Norton is about 4 miles south of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight. Whether your event is in the middle of Norton 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. We cover 125 places across the Isle of Wight, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 16 miles away.
If you’re organising a summer fair or fundraiser for a school such as Yarmouth Church of England Aided Primary School, a taco truck can be a crowd-pleaser. Rail travel is an option for visitors, as the nearest station is Lymington Pier station, about 3.9 miles north. With the sea within about 2 miles, we plan for wind at coastal events, on firm ground rather than sand.
Anywhere in PO41, we can bring Mexican street food to you. Your event could be at a home on Linstone Drive, Braxton Meadow and Hammond Close or the roads around them. If your venue is just outside Norton, we also cover Keyhaven (3 miles north-west), Lower Pennington (3 miles north-west), Pennington (4 miles north-west), Lymore (4 miles north-west) and Milford on Sea (4 miles north-west). Further out, we also cater in Newport (9 miles east), Ryde (15 miles east), Cowes (10 miles east), Ventnor (15 miles south-east), East Cowes (11 miles east) and Barton (10 miles east). Remote venues take a little more planning, so contact us in good time about access, ground and power.
Well-known places in the area include Medina (1.8 miles south-west) and Yarmouth Castle (0.7 miles east). The countryside around Norton includes Afton Down and Lymington and Keyhaven Marshes Nature Reserve.
- Local pubs include The King's Head Public House (0.7 miles east)

Should I do it myself?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Where the truck can go in Norton
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- Room for the truck or trailer and customers
- Vehicle access to the pitch for set-up and break-down
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
Norton is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey and access for the truck or trailer.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Working with your venue
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
