Taco bar hire for Ashurst events
Taco bars for events around Ashurst
Ashurst is about 2 miles south of Totton, in Hampshire. For taco bar hire in Ashurst, we plan around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and friendly service on the day. We serve in all 683 towns and villages in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 6 miles away.
Close to Ashurst are historic houses such as Southampton Tudor House and Garden (4.8 miles east) and Medieval Merchant's House (4.9 miles east). 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. By rail: Ashurst New Forest station is about 0.7 miles away. With the New Forest National Park about 4 miles away at most, a countryside taco bar is an option from Ashurst. Rural venues may limit vehicles, so ask where we can park and unload. With the sea within about 6 miles, a taco bar at a coastal venue is an option. Open toppings and a sea breeze don’t mix, so a sheltered or indoor spot is best.

How our taco bar hire works in Ashurst
Our truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers and we’ll plan the taco bar around them.

The process
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. Evenings in Ashurst stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm. Once it gets dark, guests need to see what they’re adding to their tacos.
- Start with the essentials: the date, venue, headcount and diets.
- We plan the fillings and toppings with you and quote for them.
- Together we fix the spot for the taco bar and a nearby place for our vehicle.
- We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and guests help themselves.
- After the last tacos, we clear the station away.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Name one person we can ask on the day

Ashurst: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Ashurst?
Ashurst New Forest station, about 0.7 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you cater at coastal events near Ashurst?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Seafront and beach spots generally need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, including Hampshire. Find your area.
What if a vehicle cannot reach the serving spot?
It can go beside the truck or trailer, or somewhere a vehicle cannot reach. Either way, we need to unload nearby and have the venue’s permission.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us 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). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will suggest mild options.
What is a build-your-own taco bar?
Guests take a plate and fill their tortillas from the dishes on the bar. We run the bar from set-up to pack-down.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
Catering for every guest
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Ask the venue where we can park to unload
- Flag any guest with coeliac disease
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first
- Confirm any allergies to us by email
If speeches or timings run over, we keep the fillings hot and start when you are ready.
Burrito bowls sit well on the bar for anyone avoiding tortillas.

What’s on the menu
Salsas
Guests add as much heat as they like.
Vegan fillings
Vegan guests get a proper filling of their own, not an afterthought.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Comparing your options
If you want food that feels sociable but still well run, a taco bar suits events well. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
