Taco bar hire for Frostlane events
Taco bar hire in Frostlane, from our truck or trailer
Toppings make the bar: lime wedges, coriander, pickled onions, cheese and crema, depending on the menu you choose. On the menu are a build-your-own taco bar, warm corn and flour tortillas and burrito bowls, which works well for engagement and anniversary parties and christenings and family parties.
In a hamlet or village like Frostlane, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. Our staff set up the station and run it through service; tell us about access and parking. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Frostlane: venues, access and set-up
Frostlane is about 1 mile south-east of Hythe, in Hampshire. We bring taco bar hire to gardens, halls and venues around Frostlane. We cater in all 683 towns and villages in Hampshire.
When the service is at a church such as St Anne, the taco bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. Historic houses near Frostlane include Medieval Merchant's House (3.1 miles north) and Southampton Tudor House and Garden (3.2 miles north). Estates and listed houses set their own rules for caterers, so check where a taco bar station and our vehicle would be permitted before booking. The New Forest National Park is within about 4 miles of Frostlane, with barns and country venues that could host a taco bar. Where vehicles can’t reach the room, the station can be set up there with the venue’s agreement, but we still need to unload close by. Frostlane is within about 4 miles of the sea, so for a seaside taco bar we plan around the wind. A sheltered spot for the station helps, and seafront sites typically need permission.
Anywhere in SO45, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests. If your venue is just outside Frostlane, we also cover Hardley (1 mile south), Little Holbury (2 miles south), Holbury (2 miles south), Weston (2 miles north) and Roughdown (2 miles south). We also cater in nearby towns such as Winchester (14 miles north), Gosport (11 miles east), Eastleigh (8 miles north), Fareham (8 miles east), Totton (7 miles north-west) and Chandler's Ford (9 miles north).
Nearby you’ll also find Royal South Hants Hospital (4 miles north) and Netley Castle (2 miles north-east). The countryside around Frostlane includes Mercury Marshes.
- Nearby schools include Noadswood School (1.2 miles west)
Popular choices
Toppings
Toppings let guests finish their tacos their way.
Hot fillings
Fillings cooked ahead and kept hot, such as carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
How it works
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can spend time with your guests. Daylight in Frostlane runs to about 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. If the taco bar is outdoors and runs later, tell us what lighting the venue has.
- Tell us the date, the venue, how many guests and any diets.
- We plan the fillings and toppings with you and quote for them.
- Together we fix the spot for the taco bar and a nearby place for our vehicle.
- We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and guests help themselves.
- Once guests have eaten, we take down the bar and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Let us know the timings for the day

Planning for every diet
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Confirm any allergies to us by email
- Agree the serving spot with your venue early
- Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
Our staff stand behind the bar to top up dishes and help guests.
Our food truck or trailer can serve later in the day, after the taco bar, quoted with the rest.
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. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
