Taco bar hire in Blackmoor
Blackmoor questions
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the South Downs 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.
Could you set up a taco bar in a hall near Blackmoor?
We can, as long as the venue agrees. The station needs room for a queue, and we need to park and unload close to the door.
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Do you come to Blackmoor?
Yes, we do. Blackmoor is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll check the licensing with you.
Is the food made fresh?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Is a taco bar good for vegans and gluten-free guests?
Fillings and toppings sit in separate dishes, which helps with mixed diets, but we can’t promise an allergen-free kitchen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you stay to run the taco bar?
The taco bar is served from a table or station by our staff, so you do not need helpers. We pack it away afterwards.
About our taco bar hire in Blackmoor
A taco bar puts the whole spread on one table: tortillas kept warm, fillings kept hot, and bowls of salsa, guacamole and toppings. Guests pick up a plate and build their own. Popular choices include guacamole, pickled onions and toppings and slow-cooked fillings kept hot, which works well for office lunches and christenings and family parties.
In a small place like Blackmoor, 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, as long as we can unload within a short walk. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer.

What affects the price in Blackmoor
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- How many staff you need
- How long we are needed on site
- The number of people
- What the venue already provides
What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

Planning a taco bar in Blackmoor
Blackmoor is about 5 miles south-east of Alton, in Hampshire. From the centre of Blackmoor to the outskirts, we offer the same service: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. Blackmoor is one of 683 places in Hampshire where we can bring taco bar hire. You can also see our page for Basingstoke, about 15 miles away.
When the service is at a church such as St Matthew's Church, the taco bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. Venues in and around the South Downs National Park, within about 7 miles of Blackmoor, sometimes have strict rules about catering and vehicles. Check with yours where a taco bar station and our food truck or trailer could go.
We serve at events all over the GU33 postcode area and the streets around it. From Blackmoor Road and Sotherington Lane or anywhere nearby, we can bring taco bar hire there, given access. We also serve at events in Woolmer (1 mile south-east), Greatham (1 mile south), Longmoor (2 miles south-east), Passfield (2 miles east) and Weavers Down (3 miles south-east). Larger places within reach include Basingstoke (15 miles north-west), Farnborough (15 miles north), Fleet (13 miles north), Horndean (14 miles south-west), Aldershot (12 miles north-east) and Alton (5 miles north-west).
A little further out are The Romany Museum (2.3 miles west) and Chase Community Hospital (1.4 miles north-east). Open spaces near Blackmoor include Selborne Hill and Deadwater Valley.
- Nearby schools include Mill Chase Academy (2.1 miles north-east)
For event organisers in Blackmoor
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
The process
We work to your timings. If things run behind, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can. From late May to late September, sunset in Blackmoor moves from about 8:55pm to 7:05pm. Let us know if an outdoor station will run after dark, and we’ll talk about lighting.
- Contact us with your date and headcount.
- We agree a menu that covers every diet.
- Nearer the date, we confirm timings and the serving spot.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- Once service is over, we pack away.
How to prepare
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Let us know the timings for the day

Comparing your options
Plated meals depend on a kitchen and a team of waiting staff. For a taco bar, we need a serving spot, a nearby place to unload and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
What you get with us

- Quick, friendly service from the hatch

Dietary needs and planning tips
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first
- Make sure one filling is vegan
- Set out seating near the bar
- Fit the bar into your running order
We get there early enough to unload, lay out the table and heat everything through.
Add burrito bowls for guests who’d rather skip tortillas.
