Taco bar hire for your event in Barton
Our taco bar travels to events across Barton and the surrounding area: marquees, barns, gardens, halls and workplaces, wherever there’s room for the table. On the menu are fresh salsas, a build-your-own taco bar and burrito bowls, which works well for barn parties and engagement parties.
In and around Barton, a taco bar works beside the truck or in a hall nearby. If the truck can’t reach the garden, we park as close as we can and set the station up where your guests are. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.

A build-your-own taco bar in Barton
Barton is about 1 mile east of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. We bring taco bar hire to gardens, halls and venues around Barton. We cater in 125 places across the Isle of Wight, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Portsmouth, about 12 miles away.
After a christening or wedding at a church such as St Paul's Church, a taco bar at a hall or garden nearby lets guests build their own tacos. Parks such as Seaclose Park typically need the owner’s agreement for catering, even without a truck on the grass, so ask before you plan. Barton 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 generally need permission.

We also serve at events in Cross Lane (1 mile north), Staplers (1 mile east), Fairlee (1 mile north), Hillgrove (2 miles north-east) and Whippingham (3 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover Ryde (6 miles east), Cowes (4 miles north), Sandown (6 miles south-east), Shanklin (7 miles south-east), Ventnor (8 miles south-east) and East Cowes (4 miles north).

Your questions about taco bar hire in Barton
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Paul's Church?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Could you serve in Seaclose Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Do you cook on site?
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 do you need at the venue?
Send us details of the venue and where you’d like the bar, and we will check it works. We also need the venue’s permission.
Do you cater in Barton?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Barton is within our area. To check your date, tell us about it on our contact page.
Do you do parties at home?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll recommend how to serve.
