Chilworth Old Village questions

Can you serve near the sea around Chilworth Old Village?

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.

Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Denys?

Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.

Do you cater in Chilworth Old Village?

Yes, we do. We serve at events in Chilworth Old Village and across Southampton. Tell us your date and we will check availability.

What if a vehicle can’t reach the serving spot?

It can go beside the truck or trailer, or somewhere a vehicle cannot reach. Either way, we need to unload nearby and have the venue’s permission.

How soon do we need to book?

As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.

What do you need at the venue?

The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.

Do you cook on site?

We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.

Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?

Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll suggest the best set-up.

Prices and what affects them

These are the factors that matter most:

  • Plates, napkins and cutlery
  • Food, drinks or both
  • Your choice of food and drinks
  • How many staff you need

Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you can choose what you need.

What we need to know

When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:

  • Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
  • Gate widths, slopes and the ground
  • Roughly how many adults and children
  • What power and water the site has

Not sure what you need yet? No problem: give us the basics about your event, and we’ll make suggestions. To start, use our quote form.

Dietary needs and planning tips

With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:

  • Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
  • Set out seating near the bar
  • Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
  • Agree the serving spot with your venue early

We get there early enough to unload, lay out the table and heat everything through.

Loaded nachos make a good starter while the bar is set up.

Comparing your options

A sandwich platter is easy to order but rarely remembered. Warm tortillas and hot fillings give a lunch more to talk about. 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. Your quote sets it all out.

What happens on the day

Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. In Chilworth Old Village, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is typically served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.

  1. Get in touch with your date and headcount.
  2. We plan fillings and toppings around your guests’ diets.
  3. Nearer the date, we confirm timings and the serving spot.
  4. Service starts when your running order says.
  5. We clear our station when service ends.

Getting ready for the day

  • Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site

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.

Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.

  • Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
  • Tacos and taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas
  • Mexican drinks bar: margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas
