Taco bar hire for Newnham events
Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Guest numbers
- What’s on the menu
- How many staff you need
- Travel, parking and access
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- Your date and when you want service to start
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Expected numbers
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.
Taco bar hire for your event in Newnham
A taco bar suits mixed diets well, as fillings and toppings are kept in separate dishes. There are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. It works well for engagement and anniversary parties and summer garden parties, with a build-your-own taco bar, burrito bowls and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
In a small place like Newnham, 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, as long as we can unload within a short walk. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Newnham: your questions answered
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St. Nicholas?
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.
Will you travel to a small place like Newnham?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
How much is a taco bar?
Every taco bar is quoted for individually, depending on guests, menu, venue and timings. For a price, send a quick message through our quote form.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
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. Tell us your numbers.
What about power on site?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. Around midsummer it stays light in Newnham until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is normally served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Contact us with your date and headcount.
- We agree a menu that covers every diet.
- We fix timings with you and the venue.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- Once service is over, we pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Give us a contact for the day
Ask for a quote
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.

For event organisers in Newnham
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
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.
Planning for every diet
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Put allergies in writing for us
- Make sure one filling is vegan
- Pick the spot for the taco bar in advance
We warm tortillas in batches and keep the fillings hot.
A wider range of salsas suits guests who like it mild and those who like it hot.
Planning a taco bar in Newnham
Newnham is about 5 miles east of Basingstoke, in Hampshire. For an event in Newnham, we can serve in gardens, fields, venues, car parks and courtyards with access in and around Newnham. We cover 683 places across Hampshire.
Nearby historic houses include The Vyne (4.6 miles west) and Stratfield Saye House (4.7 miles north). If your event is at a historic house or estate, ask early whether a staffed taco bar is allowed and where we could unload. Guests leaving a church like Church of St. Nicholas could head to a nearby hall or garden where the taco bar is ready.
This part of Hampshire takes in RG27, so your event can be anywhere in it. Your event could be at a home on Tylney Lane, Newnham Lane and Ridge Lane or the roads around them.

Can I do a taco night myself?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
