- Who provides plates and napkins

Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Decide where the table goes before the day
- Let us know about anyone who is coeliac
- Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
- Include a vegan filling on the bar
If the schedule slips, tell us and we’ll hold everything hot until you are ready.
Ask us whether a second station would help with big numbers, quoted for your event.
Working with your venue
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.

Fishbourne is one of 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight we cover. We cater right across the region, from Fishbourne to Portsmouth (8 miles away).

Around Fishbourne, historic houses include Osborne House (2.8 miles north-west) and Arreton Manor (3.7 miles south). Estates and listed houses set their own rules for caterers, so check where a taco bar station and our vehicle would be permitted before you book.

Wherever your event is in PO33, we can bring taco bar hire to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes.

Step by step
When service finishes, we pack up and leave our area tidy. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. In Fishbourne, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Contact us with your date and headcount.
- We agree a menu that covers every diet.
- Nearer the date, we confirm timings and the serving spot.
- Service starts when your running order says.
- We clear our station when service ends.
Before we arrive
- Ask the venue about power and water
