Taco bar hire for your event in Calshot
With a taco bar, everything is laid out in one place: tortillas kept warm, fillings kept hot, and bowls of salsa, guacamole and toppings. Each guest takes a plate and fills it their way. It suits company parties and birthday parties, with warm corn and flour tortillas, burrito bowls and a build-your-own taco bar.
Near Calshot, a marquee or barn makes a good home for a taco bar. Our staff set up the station and run it through service; tell us about access and parking. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer.
Planners, venues and businesses
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Throwing a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about access, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
Planning for every diet
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
- Make sure guests have somewhere to sit
- Count children separately
- Decide where the table goes before the day
Staff stay at the taco bar to refill bowls and answer questions.
Burrito bowls sit well on the bar for anyone avoiding tortillas.
Planning a taco bar in Calshot
Calshot is about 4 miles north of Cowes, in Hampshire. Across the SO45 area, we’ll come to your venue or site. Calshot is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire we cover. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 8 miles away.
Around Calshot, historic houses include Osborne House (4.9 miles south-east). Historic venues often limit where vehicles can go, so ask whether a taco bar station could be set up inside while our truck or trailer parks further off. By rail: Hamble station is about 4.1 miles away. With the New Forest National Park about 6 miles away at most, a countryside taco bar is an option from Calshot. Rural venues may limit vehicles, so ask where we can park and unload. With the sea within about 4 miles, a taco bar at a coastal venue is an option. Open toppings and a sea breeze do not mix, so a sheltered or indoor spot is best.
For taco bar hire in SO45, we plan around your venue and the route in and your guests. We can cater an event on streets such as Bus Drove, Elmfield Lane and Tristan Close or the roads around them. We also serve at events in Hillhead (1 mile south-east), Sprat's Down (1 mile west), Stanswood (1 mile south-west), Stonehills (1 mile north-west) and Ashlett (1 mile north-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Gosport (8 miles east), Havant (15 miles east), Eastleigh (11 miles north), Fareham (6 miles north-east), Horndean (15 miles north-east) and Totton (11 miles north-west).
A little further out are Calshot Castle (1.1 miles north-east) and Coldeast (4.5 miles north-east). Green spaces nearby include Mercury Marshes and Mill Hill.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- A short, clear path for carrying the bar in
- Room for guests to queue along the table
- The venue’s agreement for the taco bar and our vehicle
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.
