How our Mexican street food works in Parkhurst

Rural events near Parkhurst can be a long way from food outlets, so a taco truck is a welcome sight. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

Parkhurst questions
Could you serve in Seaclose Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
Can you trade at a school fair in Parkhurst?
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.
What documents can you send?
Send us your list.
Do you cover Parkhurst?
Yes, we do. We serve at events in Parkhurst and across the Isle of Wight. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Do you need power?
Send pitch details and we will confirm, including power and water.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. For alcohol, we will go through the licensing with you and your venue.
Can vegans eat at your stall?
Yes, always. We serve vegan fillings such as black beans or spiced mushrooms.
Planning the serving area
If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- Flat, firm ground
- The event’s site rules and timings
- Room for the truck or trailer and customers
Out-of-the-way places like Parkhurst take a little more planning, so let us know about tracks, gates and power in good time.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
Is Mexican street food right for your event?
Not every trader covers vegans and coeliacs. Our menu includes vegan and gluten-free options. Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so tell us what you have in mind. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
