Taco bar hire in Old Netley
Taco bar hire in Old Netley, served fresh

Near Old Netley, a marquee or barn makes a good home for a taco bar. We set up the station and our team runs it; tell us about access and parking. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Old Netley questions
Do you come out to small places like Old Netley?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Do you cater in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
How much does taco bar hire cost?
There is no price list, because no two events are the same. Share your plans and you’ll get a quote. See what Mexican catering costs for background.
Is a taco bar good for vegans and gluten-free guests?
Keeping each dish separate makes mixed diets easier, but we cannot promise an allergen-free kitchen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Do you do a taco bar?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
Can you keep it mild?
It’s up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
What do you serve?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How many guests we’re serving
- What’s on the menu
- The length of service
- Distance and access to the venue
Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
What we need to know
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Your date and when you want service to start
- The address or venue name
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.

About the menu
Guacamole
No taco bar is complete without guacamole, so we keep it topped up.
Hot fillings
Fillings cooked ahead and kept hot, such as carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria.
Planning the serving area
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- A level area for the taco-bar table
- Easy access from where we unload to the table
- Somewhere close by for our vehicle to park and unload
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.
Menu ideas
- Two to four fillings
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Vegan fillings
- Tortilla chips
- Salsas and guacamole
Working with your venue
Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.

Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
