How our taco bar hire works in Hillhead
With a taco bar, everything is laid out in one place: warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Guests pick up a plate and build their own. It works well for office lunches and evening receptions, with pickled onions and toppings, warm corn and flour tortillas and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
For a rural spot like Hillhead, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we will confirm power and water with you. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Hillhead: your questions answered
We are having a ceremony at St George: can you cater afterwards?
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.
Which station should guests use for Hillhead?
Hamble station, about 4.3 miles north of the centre.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
Do you need electricity?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we’ll park.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
How much is a taco bar?
We do not publish set prices, as each booking is different. Send us your details and we will quote for your event. Our guide to Mexican catering costs may help.
How many guests can a taco bar serve?
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’ll plan the bar around them.
Do you take everything away?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll talk it through.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
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.

Hillhead: venues, access and set-up
Hillhead is about 4 miles north of Cowes, in Hampshire. For an event in Hillhead, we can serve in gardens, fields, venues, car parks and courtyards with access. Hillhead is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire where we can bring taco bar hire. We cater right across the region, from Hillhead to Southampton (about 8 miles away).
For guests coming by train, Hamble station is about 4.3 miles away. Guests leaving a church like St George could head to a nearby hall or garden where the taco bar is ready. Hillhead is within about 6 miles of the New Forest National Park, with barns and country venues that could host a taco bar. Where vehicles cannot reach the room, the station can be set up there with the venue’s agreement, but we still need to unload close by. With the sea within about 4 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.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
