Taco bar hire for Brighstone events
Taco bar hire in Brighstone, from our food truck or trailer
A taco bar suits mixed diets well, because every filling and topping sits in its own dish. We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, plus allergen information for every dish. It works well for christenings and family parties and marquee parties, with a build-your-own taco bar, pickled onions and toppings and guacamole.
Near Brighstone, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is 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 DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Before you choose a spot
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Shelter from rain and sun for an outdoor bar
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- Space for a line of guests at the bar
For somewhere as remote as Brighstone, early notice helps us plan the trip, the route in and power.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
What we offer
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Tortilla chips
- Salsas and guacamole
- Vegan fillings
- Two to four fillings
- Pickled onions and toppings

Historic houses near Brighstone include Mottistone Manor (1.4 miles north-west) and Westcourt Manor (1.6 miles east). Historic venues often limit where vehicles can go, so ask whether a taco bar station could be set up inside while our food truck or trailer parks further off.
