Taco bar hire in Haylands, from our truck or trailer
Our truck and trailer service typically 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 works well for barn parties and working lunches, with warm corn and flour tortillas, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and a build-your-own taco bar.
Near Haylands, a hall or club may suit a taco bar if your own space is tight; we need the venue’s permission, a level spot and somewhere to unload. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Haylands: your questions answered
Which station should guests use for Haylands?
The closest is Ryde St Johns Road station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
Do you cater at coastal events near Haylands?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades normally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
Can the taco bar cater for special diets?
Keeping each dish separate makes mixed diets easier, but we can’t promise an allergen-free kitchen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
Is a taco bar right for a wedding?
The taco bar can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. Timings are agreed with you and your venue, and guests build their own plates.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Do you cover Haylands?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Haylands and the rest of the Isle of Wight. To check your date, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
How many guests can a taco bar serve?
It depends on the event and the timings. As a guide, our bookings generally fall around 50 to 400 guests.
What taco bar hire costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The number of people
- The menu you choose
- Whether you need disposables
- Serving staff
Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- The date and time of the event
- The address or venue name
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
Not sure what you need yet? That is fine: give us the basics about your event, and we’ll suggest a menu. To start, send us your details through our quote form.

- Together we choose what goes on the bar.
- We confirm the table spot and where we will unload.
- Our staff set out the bar and guests build their own tacos.
- When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
Getting ready for the day

Planning help
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A level area for the taco-bar table
- Permission from the venue for us to set up
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
Haylands 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 picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
Popular choices
- Tortilla chips
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Salsas and guacamole
- Two to four fillings
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Vegan fillings
Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
