Taco bar hire in Hythe, served fresh
You choose the fillings with us, such as pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, with a vegan filling like black bean and sweet potato or spiced mushroom. We serve a build-your-own taco bar, pickled onions and toppings and slow-cooked fillings kept hot, which works well for marquee parties and anniversary parties.
In a town like Hythe, a taco bar can go in a hall, a marquee or a garden. It can sit beside our truck or, if the truck can’t get in, on its own near your guests. Either way, we need to unload close by. 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.

After a christening or wedding at a church such as Church of St John, a taco bar at a hall or garden nearby lets guests build their own tacos. Nearby historic houses include Medieval Merchant's House (2.6 miles north) and Southampton Tudor House and Garden (2.6 miles north). Estates and listed houses set their own rules for caterers, so check where a taco bar station and our vehicle would be permitted before you book. With the New Forest National Park about 4 miles away at most, a countryside taco bar is an option from Hythe. Rural venues may limit vehicles, so ask where we can park and unload. Hythe is within about 3 miles of the sea, so for a seaside taco bar we plan around the wind. A sheltered spot for the station helps, and seafront sites normally need permission.

How the day works
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. A December taco bar in Hythe 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.
- Start with your date, venue and guest numbers.
- We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site

For planners, venues and organisers
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, 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.
Hythe questions
Can you serve near the sea around Hythe?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Seafront and beach spots typically need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St John?
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’ll check the access.
Can you set up where a truck can’t get in?
The bar can stand on its own, away from the truck or trailer. We still need to park our vehicle nearby to unload, and the venue’s agreement.
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. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Who clears up?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you cater in Hythe?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Hythe and the rest of Hampshire. For a quote, tell us about it on our contact page.

Is taco bar hire right for your event?
A taco bar and a truck serve the same food in different ways. From the truck, we put each order together; at the bar, guests build their own. Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.
