How our taco bar hire works in Brookgreen
Mixed diets are simple at a taco bar, as fillings and toppings are kept in separate dishes. There are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. On the menu are pickled onions and toppings, a build-your-own taco bar and warm corn and flour tortillas, and it is a good fit for milestone birthdays and evening wedding receptions.
For a rural spot like Brookgreen, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

What taco bar hire costs
We quote for your event, which reflects:
- Travel, parking and access
- The menu you choose
- The length of service
- Guest numbers
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for taco bar hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Planning for every diet
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
- Collect dietary needs with your replies
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Put allergies in writing for us
Our staff stand behind the bar to top up dishes and help guests.
Burrito bowls sit well on the bar for anyone avoiding tortillas.
Brookgreen: venues, access and set-up
Brookgreen is about 7 miles south-west of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. We cater events at gardens, halls and venues around Brookgreen and the surrounding area. We cater in all 125 towns and villages across the Isle of Wight, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 19 miles away.
If you are celebrating after a service at a church like St. Mary's Church, a hall close by could host a staffed taco bar, with the venue’s permission. The coast is within about 5 miles of Brookgreen, so for a seaside taco bar we plan around the wind. A sheltered spot for the station helps, and seafront sites normally need permission.
We cover events in every part of PO30 and the streets around it. If your venue is just outside Brookgreen, we also cover Brook (1 mile north-west), Hulverstone (1 mile north-east), Dunsbury (1 mile north-west), Chilton Green (1 mile east) and Shalcombe (2 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover Newport (7 miles north-east), Ryde (13 miles north-east), Cowes (10 miles north-east), Sandown (12 miles east), Shanklin (12 miles east) and Ventnor (11 miles east). Some remote venues need extra planning, so contact us in good time about access, ground and power.
Nearby you will also find Brighstone Village Museum (2.2 miles east) and Yarmouth Castle (4.8 miles north-west). The countryside around Brookgreen includes Westover Down.
How it works
Once service is over, we pack down and clear our own area. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. Evenings in Brookgreen stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm. After dusk, lights over the station help guests build their tacos.
- 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.

Common questions in Brookgreen
Do you come out to small places like Brookgreen?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.

Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will talk licensing through with you.
Who looks after the taco bar?
We run the station ourselves, so your hosts don’t need to. When service ends, we clear it away.

We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Planning the serving area
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Permission from the venue for us to set up
- A clear route from the vehicle to the serving spot
- A sheltered spot if we’re serving outside
For somewhere as remote as Brookgreen, early notice helps us plan the trip, the route in and power.
