Taco bar hire for your event in Emery Down
Fillings are agreed with you, such as pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, plus a vegan choice such as spiced mushroom or black bean and sweet potato. It suits barn parties and summer garden parties, serving warm corn and flour tortillas, a build-your-own taco bar and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
In a hamlet or village like Emery Down, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. We set up the station and our team runs it. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
Working with your venue
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.

Should I do it myself?
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’ll do the serving.
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.

FAQs for Emery Down
We are having a ceremony at Christ Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Do you come to events in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Is the food very hot?
It is up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
Is a taco bar right for a wedding?
A taco bar works well for a relaxed wedding breakfast. We fit it around your speeches and photos. Read our taco bar guide for ideas.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
What do you need at the venue?
Room for the table and a queue, plus a nearby place to unload. We confirm power and water when you book.

Emery Down is within about a mile of the New Forest National Park, with barns and country venues that could host a taco bar. Where vehicles cannot reach the room, the station can be set up there with the venue’s agreement, but we still need to unload close by.
This part of Hampshire takes in SO43, so your event can be anywhere in it. Your event could be at a home on Garden Close, Northerwood Avenue and Silver Street.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Travel, parking and access
- The number of people
- Serving staff
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
There is 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.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground

How it works
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and serve without fuss. A December taco bar in Emery Down will be in the dark from about 4:00pm, so set the station up where the lighting is good. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:25pm.

Comparing your options
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen, waiting staff and fixed courses. For a taco bar, we need a serving spot, a nearby place to unload and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
