Hyde: your questions answered
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.
Do you come out to small places like Hyde?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
How do you handle dietary needs at the taco bar?
Fillings and toppings sit in separate dishes, which helps with mixed diets, though we can’t guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
How big an event can you cater?
Our truck and trailer service normally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
How does taco bar hire work?
A serving table is laid with warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and each guest builds their own. We stay to keep everything hot and stocked.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
That is confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we will talk it through.
Is the taco bar staffed?
Our staff set up the bar, keep the fillings hot and top up the dishes.
Taco bar hire for your event in Hyde
Toppings make the bar: pickled onions, coriander, lime, shredded lettuce and cheese, depending on the menu you choose. It works well for engagement parties and family get-togethers, with fresh salsas, pickled onions and toppings and guacamole.
In a hamlet or village like Hyde, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. Our staff set up the station and run it through service. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.

Taco bar hire or something else?
A sandwich platter is easy to order but rarely remembered. Warm tortillas and hot fillings give a lunch more to talk about. Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Occasions we cater for in Hyde
You are not limited to places a truck can park, like a barn, courtyard or hall, if the venue agrees.
Almost any gathering can work with a truck or trailer. People in Hyde can book us for events such as:
- Retirement parties
- Barn and marquee parties
- Staff parties
- Wedding day food
When the service is at a church such as Church of the Holy Ascension, the taco bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church.

- How dietary needs and allergies are handled
- When final numbers are due
- Where to see their hygiene rating
- What the caterer needs from your venue
For planners, venues and organisers
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Planning a taco bar in Hyde
Hyde is in Hampshire. Whether your event is in the middle of Hyde or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. Hyde is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire we cover. We cater right across the region, from Hyde to Southampton (about 16 miles away).
Close to Hyde are historic houses such as Breamore House (4.4 miles north). Historic venues often limit where vehicles can go, so ask whether a taco bar station could be set up inside while our food truck or trailer parks further off. The New Forest National Park is within about 7 miles of Hyde, with barns and country venues that could host a taco bar. Where vehicles can’t reach the room, the station can be set up there with the venue’s agreement, but we still need to unload close by.
We cater events across the SP6 postcode area and the streets around it. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Gorley Lynch and Hyde Lane or the roads around them. Nearby, we also cater events in Hungerford (1 mile west), Frogham (1 mile north-east), North Gorley (1 mile west), Blissford (1 mile north-east) and Stuckton (1 mile north-west). Further out, we also cater in Totton (11 miles east), Lymington (14 miles south-east), Romsey (13 miles north-east), New Milton (12 miles south-east), Ringwood (4 miles south) and Barton on Sea (12 miles south).
Other landmarks nearby include Godshill Castle Hill (2.5 miles north) and Fordingbridge Doll Museum (1.7 miles north-west). Not far away are Blashford Lakes and Linbrook Lake.
- Local schools include The Burgate School and Sixth Form (2.2 miles north-west)
How the day works
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. Around midsummer it stays light in Hyde until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:05pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Begin with the date and headcount.
- We plan fillings and toppings around your guests’ diets.
- We fix timings with you and the venue.
- Service starts when your running order says.
- We clear our station when service ends.
How to prepare
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Ask the venue about power and water

DIY taco night versus a caterer
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.

- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
