About our taco bar hire in Ashley
The toppings are where guests get creative: pickled onions, coriander, lime, shredded lettuce and cheese, agreed with you in advance. It works well for engagement parties and barn and marquee parties, serving fresh salsas, a build-your-own taco bar and pickled onions and toppings.
A place like Ashley may have a hall or a club nearby if your garden is small; the station needs a level surface, the venue’s permission and somewhere to unload. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
The menu, item by item
Warm tortillas
Soft corn and flour tortillas, kept warm. The corn ones suit gluten-free guests.
Toppings
Toppings let guests finish their tacos their way, and dairy-free choices are kept apart.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
The process
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a picture of the space if you’re unsure. Winter evenings in Ashley close in by about 4:05pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. In late June, the light holds until around 9:25pm.
- Start with your date, venue and guest numbers.
- Together we choose what goes on the bar.
- The venue confirms where the bar goes and where we park.
- Our staff set out the bar and guests build their own tacos.
- We clear the bar away after service.
Before we arrive
- Find out what power and water are available
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site

Questions from Ashley
Which station is closest to Ashley?
New Milton station, about 0.7 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you come to events in the New Forest National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Does the taco bar need the truck on site?
The taco bar can sit next to the truck or trailer, or in a spot of its own. Either way, we need to unload nearby and have the venue’s permission.
Can we have a taco bar at our wedding?
A taco bar makes a relaxed, sociable wedding meal. We fit it around your speeches and photos. There is more in our taco bar guide.
Where do you cater?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, including Ashley.
Can you run a bar?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from.
Is the food very hot?
It’s up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.

Taco bars for events around Ashley
Ashley is about 4 miles west of Lymington, in Hampshire. Wherever your event is in the BH25 area, we’ll come to your venue or site, as long as there is access. Ashley is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 15 miles away.
Guests arriving without a car will want to know that the nearest station is New Milton station, about 0.7 miles south-west. When the service is at a church such as St. Peter's Church, the taco bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. Venues in and around the New Forest National Park, within about 5 miles of Ashley, sometimes have strict rules about catering and vehicles. Check with yours where a taco bar station and our truck or trailer could go. Ashley is within about 5 miles of the sea, so for a seaside taco bar we plan around the wind. A sheltered spot for the station helps, and seafront sites normally need permission.
Wherever your event is in BH25 and SO41, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Your event could be at a home on Franklin Road, Miller Close and Manor Road or the roads around them.

We warm tortillas in batches and keep the fillings hot.
Burrito bowls sit well on the bar for anyone avoiding tortillas.

- Tacos and taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas
