Taco bar hire for your event in Clatterford
Our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers and we will plan the taco bar around them. It suits barn parties and retirement parties, serving warm corn and flour tortillas, pickled onions and toppings and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
Somewhere as small as Clatterford, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. 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. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Planning for every diet
Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included. To make it work smoothly:
- Decide where the table goes before the day
- Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Include a dietary question on your invitations
We warm tortillas in batches and keep the fillings hot.
Ask us about plates, napkins and cutlery and we’ll confirm what’s possible in your quote.
What we need at the venue
We’ll be honest if a space won’t work. What matters most:
- Shelter from rain and sun for an outdoor bar
- A short, clear path for carrying the bar in
- A clear area in front of the station
Clatterford is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey and access for the truck or trailer.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
What we offer
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Two to four fillings
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Vegan fillings
- Tortilla chips
- Salsas and guacamole
Questions from Clatterford
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St. Nicholas in Castro?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you come out to small places like Clatterford?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
Where do you cater?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire.
How long do you serve for?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
Is the food made fresh?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can you do dairy-free food?
We can. We offer dairy-free options.
Is a taco bar right for a wedding?
A taco bar works well for a relaxed wedding breakfast. Service is timed around speeches and photos. Read our taco bar guide for ideas.

Taco bars for events around Clatterford
Clatterford is about 1 mile south-west of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. From the centre of Clatterford to the outskirts, we offer the same service: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. Clatterford is one of 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight where we can bring taco bar hire. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Clatterford to Portsmouth (about 13 miles away).
When the service is at a church such as Church of St. Nicholas in Castro, the taco bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. With the sea within about 6 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.
