The process
When service finishes, we pack up and leave our area tidy. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. Christmas markets in Plaish trade in the dark from about 4:00pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. At midsummer, daylight lasts until roughly 9:20pm.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We send our menu, needs and the documents you ask for.
- We set up in the agreed window.
- Orders are served from the hatch while the event runs.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Find out what power and water are available

Event catering near Plaish
Plaish is about 2 miles south-west of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Events in Plaish are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and friendly service on the day. Plaish is one of 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight where we can bring Mexican street food. We cater right across the region, from Plaish to Portsmouth (14 miles away).
Running a fête for a church like Church of St. Nicholas in Castro? A Mexican street-food truck draws people in. Within about 6 miles of the sea, coastal events bring wind and sand into the plan. A firm, sheltered pitch suits a truck or trailer best.
Wherever your event is in PO30, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. If your venue is just outside Plaish, we also cover Bowcombe (1 mile south-west), Clatterford (1 mile north-east), Carisbrooke (1 mile north-east), Gunville (1 mile north) and Gatcombe (2 miles south-east). We also cater in nearby towns such as Ryde (8 miles east), Cowes (5 miles north), Sandown (8 miles east), Shanklin (8 miles south-east), Ventnor (8 miles south-east) and East Cowes (5 miles north-east). For an event at a remote venue, let us know early and we’ll plan the trip and the route in for the truck or trailer.
A little further out are Carisbrooke Castle (0.8 miles north-east) and Whitecroft Hospital (1.4 miles south-east). Green spaces nearby include Brighstone Down and Briddlesford Nature Reserve.
- Schools near Plaish include Christ The King College (1.2 miles north-east)

Plaish questions
Can you serve near the sea around Plaish?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
Can you trade at a school fair in Plaish?
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 and we will respond.
Can you bring margaritas?
It depends on the event’s licence. Let us know how alcohol is licensed at your event.
What about power on site?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we will park.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Will there be long queues?
We plan stock and service around your expected numbers, so queues keep moving.
What access do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
For event organisers in Plaish
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- What’s on the menu
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- What the venue already provides
- How many guests we’re serving
Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Your menu ideas
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- A picture of where we’d park
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
We quote for each event separately, based on what you need. For a quote, send a quick message through our quote form.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
- Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
- Tacos and taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas
- Mexican drinks bar: margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas
