About our taco bar hire in Locksgreen
The bar can stand beside our food truck or trailer, or on its own. If the truck cannot get to the spot, we park close by, unload and carry the bar in, as long as the venue agrees. For barn parties and garden parties, we’ll put together a menu of fresh salsas, burrito bowls and guacamole for your guests.
In a small place like Locksgreen, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, though we still need to unload within a short walk. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

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, and power and water are confirmed with each booking. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Set-up planned with you and your venue
- Allergen-aware menus
- A menu agreed with you
- Everything served fresh from the hatch

Taco bar hire in Locksgreen: local tips
Locksgreen is about 3 miles west of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. For taco bar hire in Locksgreen, we can park up at venues, fields, drives and courtyards. We cover 125 places in the Isle of Wight, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 14 miles away.
With the sea within about 5 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.
This part of the Isle of Wight takes in PO30, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. If your venue is just outside Locksgreen, we also cover Porchfield (1 mile north-east), Newtown (1 mile west), Great Thorness (1 mile north-east), Forest Side (2 miles east) and Noke Common (3 miles east). Larger places within reach include Newport (3 miles east), Ryde (9 miles east), Cowes (4 miles north-east), Sandown (10 miles south-east), Shanklin (10 miles south-east) and Ventnor (11 miles south-east). Remote venues take a little more planning, so contact us in good time about access, ground and power.
A little further out are Calbourne Water Mill And Rural Museum (3 miles south-west) and Carisbrooke Castle (3.1 miles south-east). The countryside around Locksgreen includes Brighstone Down.
- Pubs nearby include Sportsman's Rest pub (within half a mile north)
Your questions about taco bar hire in Locksgreen
Can you serve near the sea around Locksgreen?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades normally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
We can, as long as the venue agrees. The station needs room for a queue, and we need to park and unload close to the door.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Our service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Share your headcount and we will size the bar to suit.
What do you need at the venue?
Tell us about the venue and the spot you have in mind, and we’ll confirm what’s needed. We also need the venue’s permission.
What about power on site?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.
Can you keep it mild?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
How much is a food truck for an event?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Before you choose a spot
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- Room nearby to park and unload our vehicle
- Space for a serving table on level ground
- Permission from the venue for us to set up
For somewhere as remote as Locksgreen, early notice helps us plan the trip, the route in and power.
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

What taco bar hire costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The length of service
- How many staff you need
- Parking and the route in
- The menu you choose
What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
What we need to know
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- The address or venue name
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Your date and when you want service to start
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. When you’re ready, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
DIY taco night versus 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. Read our guide to taco bars.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
