Can I do a taco night myself?
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. Our taco bar guide explains how.
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.
About our Mexican street food in Ryde
We can trade to the public or cook for crew, volunteers and hospitality areas. Popular choices include tacos, loaded nachos and quesadillas, and it suits food markets and sports club events.
In Ryde, schools, clubs and churches often run summer events. A taco truck suits all of them. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

Ryde questions
Which station is closest to Ryde?
Guests can use Ryde St Johns Road station, which is right in Ryde.
Do you come to school fairs around Ryde?
Yes, with the school’s permission and a pitch the truck or trailer can reach. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Can vegans eat at your stall?
We do. Our stall menu includes vegan and gluten-free options, with allergen information for every dish.
Do you need power?
Let us know what the pitch has and we will confirm our needs. Power and water are agreed with each booking.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
What affects the price in Ryde
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether you need disposables
- The menu you choose
- The length of service
- Guest numbers
Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.
What we need to know
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- A picture of where we’d park
- The venue or postcode
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Expected numbers
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Planning the serving area
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Room for the truck or trailer and customers
- Trader information and site rules
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
Out-of-the-way places like Ryde take a little more planning, so let us know about tracks, gates and power in good time.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
Comparing your options
Not every trader covers vegans and coeliacs. We can serve vegan fillings and corn tortillas. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
What you get with us
- Menus for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests
- Service planned around your numbers
- Allergen information for everything we serve
- A quote that sets out what’s included

Fairs, fêtes and events in Ryde
Ryde is about 6 miles south of Gosport, in the Isle of Wight. Give us the address of your event in Ryde, and we’ll plan the journey and set-up before the day. We cater in 125 places in the Isle of Wight, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our nearest city page is Portsmouth, about 7 miles away.
Rail travel is an option for visitors, as Ryde has its own station, Ryde St Johns Road station. PTA volunteers planning an event for a school like Dover Park Primary School might like a trader who brings everything and serves quickly. With the sea within about a mile, we plan for wind at coastal events, on firm ground rather than sand.
Mexican street food in PO33 is planned around your venue and access. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on High Street, St Thomas' Square and Market Street. Ryde is on the A3054 and A3055, so it is easy for us to reach with the truck or trailer. If your venue is just outside Ryde, we also cover Oakfield (1 mile south-east), Haylands (1 mile south-west), Elmfield (1 mile south-east), Appley (1 mile east) and Westridge (1 mile south-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Newport (6 miles west), Cowes (7 miles west), Sandown (5 miles south), Shanklin (6 miles south), Ventnor (9 miles south) and East Cowes (6 miles west). Being one of the Isle of Wight’s larger places, Ryde has plenty of venues and spaces for events. Remote venues take a little more planning, so contact us in good time about access, ground and power.
Nearby you’ll also find Gosport War Memorial Hospital (4.8 miles north) and Sandown Castle (4.7 miles south). The countryside around Ryde includes Brading Down and Alan Hersey Nature Reserve.
- Local schools include Ryde School with Upper Chine (under half a mile north-west) and Ryde Academy (0.5 miles west)

Step by step
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. Late-September events in Ryde see sunset at about 7:10pm, so later trading needs some lighting. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.
- You send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We send our menu, pitch requirements and the documents you ask traders for.
- On the day, we arrive in the set-up window and get ready to trade.
- We serve from the hatch through the trading times you set.
- When trading ends, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
