About our taco bar hire in Blackfield
The toppings are where guests get creative: lime wedges, coriander, pickled onions, cheese and crema. Popular choices include fresh salsas, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and guacamole, which works well for engagement and anniversary parties and garden parties.
Near Blackfield, a hall or club may suit a taco bar if your own space is tight; we need the venue’s permission, a level spot and somewhere to unload. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer.
Common questions in Blackfield
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues 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.
Do you cater at coastal events near Blackfield?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades usually need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
How does taco bar hire work?
A serving table is laid with warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and guests build their own tacos. We stay to keep everything hot and stocked.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
What does taco bar hire cost?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we’ll reply with a quote.
Who looks after the taco bar?
The taco bar is served from a table or station by our staff, so you do not need helpers. When service ends, we clear it away.
Can we have a taco bar at our wedding?
A taco bar makes a relaxed, sociable wedding meal. Service is timed around speeches and photos. There is more in our taco bar guide.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
What’s on the menu
Toppings
The toppings are where guests make each taco their own, and dairy-free choices are kept apart.
Hot fillings
You might choose two or three fillings. You choose them with us.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Comparing your options
Sandwich platters are convenient but forgettable. A hot taco bar gives guests something to gather round. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.

How the day works
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. Around midsummer it stays light in Blackfield until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, plan good lighting over the station.

- Service starts when your running order says.
