Elmfield: venues, access and set-up
Elmfield is about 1 mile south-east of Ryde, in the Isle of Wight. Events in Elmfield are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day. We serve in all 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Elmfield to Portsmouth (7 miles away).
The A3055 run on or near Elmfield, which makes the journey with the taco bar an easy one. Guests arriving without a car will want to know that Elmfield has its own station, Ryde St Johns Road station. The coast is within about a mile of Elmfield, so for a seaside taco bar we plan around the wind. A sheltered spot for the station helps, and seafront sites normally need permission.
Here we cover the PO33 postcode area, so your event can be anywhere in it. Local streets include Park Road, Rink Road and Hope Road; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park.

Larger places within reach include Newport (7 miles west), Cowes (7 miles west), Sandown (5 miles south), Shanklin (6 miles south), Ventnor (9 miles south) and East Cowes (6 miles west). Some remote venues need extra planning, so contact us in good time about access, ground and power.

The menu, item by item
Vegan fillings
Spiced mushroom, or black bean and sweet potato.
Salsas
Guests add as much heat as they like.
Catering for every guest
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Decide where the table goes before the day
- Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
- Check where our vehicle can unload
- Collect dietary needs with your replies
We warm tortillas in batches and keep the fillings hot, so the bar stays fresh from the first plate to the last.
For larger groups, ask about a second serving point.
Step by step
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Daylight in Elmfield runs to about 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. Let us know if an outdoor station will run after dark, and we will talk about lighting.
- Contact us with your date and headcount.
- We agree a menu that covers every diet.
- We fix timings with you and the venue.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- We clear our station when service ends.
Preparing for the day

Comparing your options
Plated meals depend on a kitchen and a team of waiting staff. A taco bar needs a serving spot, somewhere close to unload and the venue’s agreement, and power and water are confirmed with each booking. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we will set out what’s included.

Where the truck can go in Elmfield
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- Somewhere close by for our vehicle to park and unload
- Easy access from where we unload to the table
- A spot next to the truck or trailer when both are booked
For somewhere as remote as Elmfield, early notice helps us plan the trip, the route in and power.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
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. Our taco bar guide explains how.
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 enjoy the party, let us serve.
Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Elmfield questions
Could you serve our guests after a service at St John's Church?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Which station should guests use for Elmfield?
Elmfield has its own station: Ryde St Johns Road station.
What should the venue provide?
Tell us about the venue and the spot you have in mind, and we’ll check it works. The venue’s agreement is needed too.
Do you stay to run the taco bar?
We set up and stay to keep the bar hot and stocked.
Do you do parties at home?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a photo and we will talk it through.
Do you cover Elmfield?
We do. We serve at events in Elmfield and across the Isle of Wight. Send us your date to check availability.
Is the food made fresh?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
What access do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
