About our taco bar hire in Holbury
A taco bar puts the whole spread on one table: tortillas kept warm, fillings kept hot, and bowls of salsa, guacamole and toppings. Guests pick up a plate and build their own. For leaving dos and anniversary parties, we can serve fresh salsas, burrito bowls and pickled onions and toppings.
Near Holbury, 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 cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.
The process
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. From late May to late September, sunset in Holbury moves from about 8:55pm to 7:10pm. Let us know if an outdoor station will run after dark, and we’ll talk about lighting.
- Begin with the date and headcount.
- We plan fillings and toppings around your guests’ diets.
- Nearer the date, we confirm timings and the serving spot.
- Service starts when your running order says.
- We clear our station when service ends.
Getting ready for the day
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat

- Decide where the table goes before the day
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first
If the schedule slips, tell us and we’ll hold everything hot until you’re ready.

Holbury: venues, access and set-up
Holbury is about 2 miles south of Hythe, in Hampshire. Anywhere in SO45, we can serve your guests, as long as there’s access. We serve in 683 places in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. We cater right across the region, from Holbury to Southampton (6 miles away).
If you are celebrating after a service at a church like The Good Shepherd, a hall close by could host a staffed taco bar, with the venue’s permission. Guests arriving without a car will want to know that the nearest station is Netley station, about 3.8 miles north-east. Venues in and around the New Forest National Park, within about 4 miles of Holbury, sometimes have strict rules about catering and vehicles. Check with yours where a taco bar station and our food truck or trailer could go. The coast is within about 4 miles of Holbury, so for a seaside taco bar we plan around the wind. A sheltered spot for the station helps, and seafront sites usually need permission.
Anywhere in SO45, we can bring taco bar hire to you. Streets in the area include Beechwood Road, Park Hill Close and Pondhead Close, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Little Holbury (1 mile north-west), Roughdown (1 mile south), Hardley (1 mile north), Blackfield (1 mile south-east) and Langley (1 mile south). Further out, we also cater in Gosport (10 miles east), Eastleigh (10 miles north), Fareham (8 miles east), Totton (8 miles north-west), Chandler's Ford (11 miles north) and Hedge End (7 miles north-east).
Well-known places in the area include Beaulieu Abbey And Display Of Monastic Life (3.1 miles west) and Calshot Castle (3.4 miles east). Open spaces near Holbury include Mercury Marshes.
- Schools near Holbury include The New Forest Academy (0.7 miles north)
Can I do a taco night myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
How it compares
Plated meals depend on a kitchen and a team of waiting staff. A taco bar needs a serving spot, somewhere close to unload and the venue’s agreement, with power and water confirmed when you book.

Holbury: your questions answered
Do you cater at coastal events near Holbury?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
Do you come to events in the New Forest National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
It depends on the event and the timings. As a guide, our bookings generally fall around 50 to 400 guests.
Do you do parties at home?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a photo and we’ll talk it through.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
Is the food very hot?
It is up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Do you have vegan options?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
Do you cover Holbury?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Holbury is within our area and the rest of Hampshire. To check your date, tell us about it on our contact page.
