About our taco bar hire in Battramsley
We can serve the taco bar next to the truck or trailer, or as a separate station. If the truck cannot get to the spot, we park close by, unload and carry the bar in, with the venue’s agreement. For leaving and retirement parties and anniversary parties, we will put together a menu of slow-cooked fillings kept hot, fresh salsas and burrito bowls for your guests.
In a small place like Battramsley, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, though we still need to unload within a short walk. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

Battramsley: your questions answered
Could you set up a taco bar in a hall near Battramsley?
Yes, if the venue allows outside caterers. We need a short route from where we park to the room, and space for the station and a queue.
Do you come out to small places like Battramsley?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
What does a taco bar cost?
We do not publish set prices, as each booking is different. Send us your details and we’ll quote for your event. Our guide to Mexican catering costs may help.
How long do you serve for?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
How much does taco bar hire cost in Battramsley?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.
How we price taco bar hire
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Staff for serving and the bar
- How long we are needed on site
- Whether you need disposables
- How many guests we are serving
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
Details that help
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- A picture of where we’d park
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- Where the event is
Not sure what you need yet? That is fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we’ll make suggestions. When you are ready, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Taco bars for events around Battramsley
Battramsley is about 2 miles north of Lymington, in Hampshire. Whether your event is in the middle of Battramsley or on the outskirts, taco bar hire works the same way: fresh service from our truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. Battramsley is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire where we can bring taco bar hire. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Battramsley to Southampton (about 12 miles away).
If you are celebrating after a service at a church like Church of St John, a hall close by could host a staffed taco bar, with the venue’s permission. Venues in and around the New Forest National Park, within about 3 miles of Battramsley, sometimes have strict rules about catering and vehicles. Check with yours where a taco bar station and our truck or trailer could go. The coast is within about 3 miles of Battramsley, so for a seaside taco bar we plan around the wind. A sheltered spot for the station helps, and seafront sites typically need permission.

The menu, item by item
Warm tortillas
Corn and flour tortillas, warmed through in batches. Corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.
Toppings
Pickled onions, coriander, lime, lettuce and cheese.
Planning for every diet
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask the venue where we can park to unload
- Choose at least one vegan filling
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first
- Set out seating near the bar
If speeches or timings run over, we keep the fillings hot and start when you’re ready.
Nachos to share can keep guests going before the bar opens.

Step by step
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a picture of the space if you’re unsure. In Battramsley, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is usually served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:05pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Begin with the date and headcount.
- We plan fillings and toppings around your guests’ diets.
- Nearer the date, we confirm timings and the serving spot.
- Service starts when your running order says.
- We clear our station when service ends.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Let us know the timings for the day
