About our taco bar hire in Highcliffe
Mixed diets are simple at a taco bar, as fillings and toppings are kept in separate dishes. We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Popular choices include guacamole, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and pickled onions and toppings, and it’s a good fit for evening receptions and engagement parties.
In and around Highcliffe, a taco bar works beside the truck or in a hall nearby. If the truck cannot reach the garden, we park as close as we can and set the station up where your guests are. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
Dietary needs and planning tips
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
- Flag any guest with coeliac disease
- Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
- Count children separately
Once guests have eaten, we clear the table and pack up and leave the spot tidy.
Ask us about plates, napkins and cutlery and we’ll confirm what’s possible in your quote.
The process
Once service is over, we pack up and leave our area tidy. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. A December taco bar in Highcliffe will be in the dark from about 4:00pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. In late June, the light holds until around 9:25pm.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.
- The venue confirms where the bar goes and where we park.
- On the day, guests help themselves while we keep the bar stocked.
- We clear the bar away after service.
How to prepare
- Find out what power and water are available
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Share the running order, including any speeches

Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

How it compares
Pizza is the usual crowd-pleaser, but a taco bar lets every guest design their own plate. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.

A build-your-own taco bar in Highcliffe
Highcliffe is about 1 mile east of Winchester, in Hampshire. Wherever your event is in the SO23 area, we can serve your guests, as long as there is access. We serve in all 683 towns and villages in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages.
If you are celebrating after a service at a church like All Saints, a hall close by could host a staffed taco bar, with the venue’s permission. Parks such as St. Cross Park usually need the owner’s agreement for catering, even without a truck on the grass, so ask before you plan.
We cater events across SO23, SO21 and SO20. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Moss Road, Vale Road and Domum Road. With the M3 and A31 close by, Highcliffe is easy for us to reach with the truck or trailer for your event.

Questions from Highcliffe
We’re having a ceremony at All Saints: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself is not 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’s the nearest station to Highcliffe for guests?
Winchester station, about 1.1 miles north-west of the centre.
Do you have dairy-free options?
We can. We offer dairy-free options, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
How much space do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
How much does taco bar hire cost in Highcliffe?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.

Each guest builds tacos from the fillings, salsas and toppings laid out. Our staff look after the bar throughout.
