Nettlecombe: venues, access and set-up
Nettlecombe is about 7 miles south of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. For an event in Nettlecombe, we can serve in gardens, fields, venues, car parks and courtyards with access. Nettlecombe is one of 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight where we can bring taco bar hire. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Nettlecombe to Portsmouth (about 16 miles away).
For guests coming by train, Shanklin station is about 4.1 miles away. Historic houses near Nettlecombe include Rylstone Manor (4 miles north-east) and Sheat Manor (4.3 miles north-west). Historic venues often limit where vehicles can go, so ask whether a taco bar station could be set up inside while our truck or trailer parks further off. With the sea within about 3 miles, a taco bar at a coastal venue is an option. Open toppings and a sea breeze do not mix, so a sheltered or indoor spot is best.

Questions from Nettlecombe
Can you cater a reception after a service at Water Hydrant Opposite Parish Church?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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 will check the access.
Do you cater at coastal events near Nettlecombe?
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.
What should the venue provide?
Room for the table and a queue, plus a nearby place to unload. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will recommend how to serve.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the 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. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Can you set up where a truck can’t get in?
The bar can stand on its own, away from the truck or trailer. We still need to park our vehicle nearby to unload, and the venue’s agreement.
How long are you on site?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
What happens on the day
When service finishes, we pack up and leave our area tidy. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. Planning an evening taco bar in Nettlecombe?
