Taco bar hire for Ashley events
Taco bar hire in Ashley, served fresh
Mixed diets are simple at a taco bar, as fillings and toppings are kept in separate dishes. We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, plus allergen information for every dish. It suits milestone birthdays and barn parties, with warm corn and flour tortillas, a build-your-own taco bar and fresh salsas.
In a hamlet or village like Ashley, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. We set up the station and our team runs it. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.
What taco bar hire costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Food, drinks or both
- The length of service
- Whether you need disposables
- Guest numbers

FAQs for Ashley
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Mary's Church?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you set up taco bars indoors in places like Ashley?
Yes, with the venue’s permission. We need a short route from where we park to the room, and space for the station and a queue.
Is the food made fresh?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire, including Ashley.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not generally stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
What about power on site?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Planning a taco bar in Ashley
Ashley is about 6 miles north of Romsey, in Hampshire. Across the SO20 area, we will come to your venue or site, as long as there is access. Ashley is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire where we can bring taco bar hire. Our nearest city page is Winchester, about 6 miles away.
Historic houses near Ashley include Mottisfont Abbey (4.3 miles south-west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, ask early whether a staffed taco bar is allowed and where we could unload. If you’re celebrating after a service at a church like St Mary's Church, a hall close by could host a staffed taco bar, with the venue’s permission.

Planning the serving area
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- Room nearby to park and unload our vehicle
- Permission from the venue for us to set up
- Room for the bar alongside the vehicle, if booked together
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

- Two to four fillings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Tortilla chips
- Corn and flour tortillas

Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Count children separately
- Set out seating near the bar
- Put allergies in writing for us
- Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
Dishes are labelled, with allergen information available at the table.
Our drinks bar can sit alongside the taco bar with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you.
Taco bar hire or something else?
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen, waiting staff and fixed courses. A taco bar needs a serving spot, somewhere close to unload and the venue’s agreement, with power and water confirmed when you book. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
