A HAIRDRESSER stifled by lockdown has diversified and is opening a street food trailer in her salon car park.

April Smith, of Darcie-Mai Hairdressing, has teamed up with chef Andrew Wyatt and the pair launch their business tonight (Friday).

You can find the TexMexi Co trailer of Mexican street food on Scarrots Lane, Newport, offering burritos, nachos, burgers and 'filthy fries'.

Pop along for collection, or order via the company's Facebook page for delivery to Newport, Wootton, Cowes and East Cowes. Delivery is also available via the Go Eats app.

April said: "My hairdressing salon is closed so I have no income, so I have teamed up with Andrew, who is a fully qualified chef, to launch this new venture.

"We look forward to welcoming our first customers tonight."

TexMexi Co will be open Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 5pm to 9.30pm.
