Your questions about taco bar hire in Ower
Do you come to events in the New Forest National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Do you come out to small places like Ower?
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 if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a photo of the access and the space.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
How many guests can a taco bar serve?
It depends on the event and the timings. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
Is the food very hot?
That’s your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
Step by step
Once service is over, we pack up and leave our area tidy. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. Winter evenings in Ower close in by about 4:00pm, so set the station up where the lighting is good. In late June, the light holds until around 9:25pm.

- We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.
- The venue confirms where the bar goes and where we park.
- On the day, guests help themselves while we keep the bar stocked.
- We clear the bar away after service.
Getting ready for the day

How we price taco bar hire
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Timings and hours
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.

When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- A picture of where we’d park

Popular choices
Warm tortillas
Soft corn and flour tortillas, kept warm. Corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.
Vegan fillings
A vegan filling sits on the bar with the rest, not an afterthought.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Working with your venue
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Organising a club, school or community event in Ower? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.
