Taco bar hire near Netley
Taco bar hire in Netley, from our food truck or trailer
We run the taco bar ourselves: warming tortillas, keeping fillings hot and refilling the salsas as they go. Your hosts can stay with their guests. It works well for family celebrations and engagement parties, with a build-your-own taco bar, burrito bowls and pickled onions and toppings.
Around Netley, a taco bar can stand beside our truck on a drive or lawn. Where access is tight, the truck stays nearby and the station goes where your guests are, as long as we can unload within a short walk. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Planners, venues and businesses
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Catering for every guest
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:

Netley: your questions answered
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Edward the Confessor: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
How far is Netley from London?
It’s about 69 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you do parties at home?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
Can you keep it mild?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
What about power on site?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will suggest the best set-up.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will plan the menu around them.
Who clears up?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.

Netley: venues, access and set-up
Netley is about 3 miles north-east of Hythe, in Hampshire. Give us the address of your event in Netley, and we’ll plan the journey and set-up. We cover 683 places in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages.
Historic houses near Netley include Medieval Merchant's House (3 miles north-west) and Southampton Tudor House and Garden (3 miles north-west). Historic venues often limit where vehicles can go, so ask whether a taco bar station could be set up inside while our truck or trailer parks further off. Parks such as Westwood Woodland Park usually need the owner’s agreement for catering, even without a truck on the grass, so ask before you plan. The New Forest National Park is within about 7 miles of Netley, with barns and country venues that could host a taco bar. Where vehicles cannot reach the room, the station can be set up there with the venue’s agreement, but we still need to unload close by. With the sea within about 2 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.
Wherever your event is in SO31, we can bring taco bar hire to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. From Station Road, The Crescent and Hunt Avenue or anywhere nearby, we’ll plan where to park and serve. Nearby, we also cater events in Butlocks Heath (1 mile north-east), Hound (1 mile south-east), Weston (1 mile north-west), Old Netley (1 mile north-east) and Lowford (1 mile north-east).
