About our taco bar hire in Pennington
Our staff set up the taco bar and look after it through service: warming tortillas, keeping fillings hot and refilling the salsas as they go. Nobody from your side needs to lift a spoon. At marquee parties and leaving dos, we can serve guacamole, burrito bowls and pickled onions and toppings and more.
A place like Pennington may have a hall or a club nearby if your garden is small; the station needs a level surface, the venue’s permission and somewhere to unload. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Vegan fillings
A vegan filling sits on the bar with the rest, not an afterthought.

Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Dietary needs and planning tips
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Send us allergy details in writing
- Check where our vehicle can unload
- Put guests with serious allergies in touch with us early
- Pick the spot for the taco bar in advance
If speeches or timings run over, we keep the fillings hot and start when you are ready.
For larger groups, ask about a second serving point, quoted for your event.
Planning the serving area
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Shelter from rain and sun for an outdoor bar
- Somewhere close by for our vehicle to park and unload
- Permission from the venue for us to set up
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.

Events we cater in Pennington
The bar can go where a vehicle cannot, like a barn, courtyard or hall, if the venue agrees.
Whatever the occasion, the serving truck can be a highlight. We can cater:
- Wedding evening food
- Family celebrations
- Barn parties
- Staff parties
When the service is at a church such as Church of St Mark, the taco bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church.

FAQs for Pennington
Do you cater in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
What’s the nearest station to Pennington for guests?
Guests can use Lymington Town station, about 1.2 miles north-east of Pennington.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Do you need power and water?
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.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Hampshire included. See all areas.
When do you arrive?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
How much is a taco bar?
We quote for each taco bar, based on numbers, fillings, the venue and timings. Contact us for a quote.
Taco bar hire or something else?
A sandwich platter is easy to order but rarely remembered. A hot taco bar gives guests something to gather round. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

If people are travelling in by rail, Lymington Town station is about 1.2 miles away. The New Forest National Park is within about 5 miles of Pennington, 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 a mile, 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.
