Taco bar hire for Marchwood events
What’s on the menu
Toppings
Toppings let guests finish their tacos their way.
Salsas
Fresh salsas, from a mild tomato salsa to something hotter, made for your event.
How our taco bar hire works in Marchwood
The toppings are where guests get creative: pickled onions, coriander, lime, shredded lettuce and cheese, depending on the menu you choose. On the menu are warm corn and flour tortillas, burrito bowls and slow-cooked fillings kept hot, which works well for birthday parties and engagement and anniversary parties.
In a smaller place like Marchwood, a taco bar in your garden or a local hall keeps things simple. We set up and run the station, and guests choose their own fillings and toppings. Let us know about the drive and parking. 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.
Is taco bar hire right for your event?
Plated meals depend on a kitchen and a team of waiting staff. For a taco bar, we need a serving spot, a nearby place to unload and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for taco bar hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.

DIY taco night or a caterer?

A build-your-own taco bar in Marchwood
Marchwood is about 3 miles south-east of Totton, in Hampshire. We cater events at homes, gardens and venues in Marchwood and the surrounding area. Marchwood is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire where we can bring taco bar hire.
With the A326 nearby, getting the taco bar to Marchwood is simple for us. When the service is at a church such as Church of St John the Apostle, the taco bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. Venues in and around the New Forest National Park, within about 6 miles of Marchwood, sometimes have strict rules about catering and vehicles. Check with yours where a taco bar station and our truck or trailer could go. With the sea within about 3 miles, a taco bar at a coastal venue is an option. Open toppings and a sea breeze don’t mix, so a sheltered or indoor spot is best.

FAQs for Marchwood
Can you serve near the sea around Marchwood?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades normally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St John the Apostle?
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 cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll include them in the plan.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you cater in Marchwood?
We do. Marchwood is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Who looks after the taco bar?
The taco bar is served from a table or station by our staff, so your hosts do not need to. When service ends, we clear it away.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
