Shanklin Village questions
Which station is closest to Shanklin Village?
Guests can use Belmont station, which is right in Shanklin Village.
Could you serve in Manor 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.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will go through the licensing with you.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
How long do you serve for?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
Will there be long queues?
We plan stock and service around your expected numbers, so queues keep moving.
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Planning the serving area
If a space isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you. The main points are:
- Flat, firm ground
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
- Pitch space for the vehicle and a queue
London streets around Shanklin Village can be narrow and busy, and all of Greater London sits inside the ULEZ. Tell us about loading, permits and any parking suspension when you enquire.

What Mexican street food costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The number of people
- What’s on the menu
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Serving staff
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Diets and allergies you know about
- What power and water the site has
- The date and rough timings
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
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.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
For planners, venues and organisers
Throwing a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about access, and we will let you know if it is a good fit.
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Step by step
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. By late September, it’s dark in Shanklin Village at around 7:05pm, so an evening programme will run partly after dusk. Tell us how the site will be lit when you send the pitch details.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- We reply with our stall menu and what we need on site.
- We confirm power, water and access arrangements.
- We plan to be ready for the lunchtime rush.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
