Questions from Hale Common
Can you serve near the sea around Hale Common?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades typically need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Which station is closest to Hale Common?
The closest is Shanklin station, roughly 2.5 miles away.
Can you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Do you work with our venue?
Yes. We’ll speak to your venue about access and timings.
Can you come to a private house?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
Can you feed our photographer and band?
Yes, include them in your numbers. Tell us when they’ll eat.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
The process
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A picture of the space helps. In Hale Common, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, so evening tacos are usually served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting around the truck or trailer.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We plan the wedding breakfast, evening food or both with you.
- We agree timings and access with the venue.
- On the day, we set up and serve on cue.
- We pack down and leave our area tidy.
