Common questions in Havenstreet
Which station should guests use for Havenstreet?
The closest is Smallbrook Junction station, roughly 2.2 miles away.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St. Peter's Church?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
What do you need at the venue?
Tell us about the venue and the spot you have in mind, and we’ll confirm what’s needed. The venue’s agreement is needed too.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
What is a build-your-own taco bar?
Each guest builds tacos from the fillings, salsas and toppings laid out. Our staff look after the bar throughout.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will plan the menu around them.
Do you need power and water?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we will park.
Can the taco bar cater for special diets?
Keeping each dish separate makes mixed diets easier, though we cannot guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.

How we price taco bar hire
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Guest numbers
- How many staff you need
- Your choice of food and drinks
- What the venue already provides
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Details that help
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- A picture of where we’d park
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Any dietary needs and allergies

Close to Havenstreet are historic houses such as Nunwell House (2.8 miles south-east) and Arreton Manor (2.8 miles south-west).

If people are travelling in by rail, Smallbrook Junction station is about 2.2 miles away. With the sea within about 3 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.
Wherever your event is in PO33, we can bring taco bar hire to you. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Church Road, Elizabeth Gardens and Church Lane.

Diets, allergies and planning

- Include a vegan filling on the bar
- Check where our vehicle can unload
- Let us know about anyone who is coeliac

Dishes are labelled, with allergen information available at the table.
Nachos to share can keep guests going before the bar opens.
Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

How it compares
A taco bar and a truck serve the same food in different ways. At the hatch, we make each order; at the taco bar, guests do the building. Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

The process
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. A December taco bar in Havenstreet 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 9:20pm.
- Get in touch with your date and headcount.
- We plan fillings and toppings around your guests’ diets.
- We fix timings with you and the venue.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- Once service is over, we pack away.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and diets
