Taco bar hire for your event in Pilley Bailey

The taco bar works for a wedding breakfast, a party or a working lunch. Building your own is quick, which keeps the line moving. At birthday celebrations and christenings and family parties, we can serve burrito bowls, fresh salsas and a build-your-own taco bar and more.

Near Pilley Bailey, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Our caterer checklist

Taco bar hire or something else?

The difference between a taco bar and truck service is who builds the taco. From the truck, we put each order together; at the taco bar, guests do the building. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we will set out what’s included.

Why us?

  • Catering across Hampshire, including Pilley Bailey
  • A quote that sets out what’s included
  • Menus chosen with you
  • Served fresh from our food truck or trailer

See our pricing or our guide to catering costs.

Organising for someone else?

If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

What we need at the venue

If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and help find another spot. What matters most:

  • A parking or loading spot near the serving area
  • Space for a serving table on level ground
  • A spot next to the truck or trailer when both are booked

Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

Popular choices

  • Two to four fillings
  • Pickled onions and toppings
  • Tortilla chips
  • Corn and flour tortillas
  • Salsas and guacamole
  • Vegan fillings

What taco bar hire costs

Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:

  • Staff for serving and the bar
  • Whether you need disposables
  • The length of service
  • Guest numbers

Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.

Pilley Bailey: venues, access and set-up

Pilley Bailey is about 2 miles north-east of Lymington, in Hampshire. For taco bar hire in Pilley Bailey, we plan around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day. Pilley Bailey is one of 683 places in Hampshire where we can bring taco bar hire. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 11 miles away.

Historic houses near Pilley Bailey include Beaulieu Palace House (4 miles north-east). Historic venues often limit where vehicles can go, so ask whether a taco bar station could be set up inside while our food truck or trailer parks further off. Guests arriving without a car will want to know that Lymington Town station is about 1.9 miles away. Pilley Bailey is within about 4 miles of the New Forest National Park, with barns and country venues that could host a taco bar. Where vehicles can’t 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 3 miles, a taco bar at a coastal venue is an option. Open toppings and a sea breeze do not mix, so a sheltered or indoor spot is best.

Taco bar hire in SO41 is planned around your venue and access and your guests. Other places close to Pilley Bailey for taco bar hire include Bull Hill (1 mile south-east), Pilley (1 mile south-west), Portmore (1 mile south), Warborne (1 mile south-west) and Boldre (1 mile west).

Pilley Bailey: your questions answered

Can you serve near the sea around Pilley Bailey?

Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.

Do you cater in villages like Pilley Bailey?

Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.

What if the weather’s bad?

Rain doesn’t generally stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.

Do you provide drinks?

Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will talk licensing through with you.

Can you do gluten-free food?

Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.

Do you clear up afterwards?

We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.

How is the food prepared?

We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.

Do you give allergen information?

Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.

What happens on the day

It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our truck or trailer, and get on with serving. Winter evenings in Pilley Bailey close in by about 4:00pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:25pm.

  1. Share a few details about the event.
  2. We send a sample spread and a quote.
  3. Access, power and water are agreed beforehand.
  4. We arrive, unload and lay out warm tortillas, fillings and toppings.
  5. Afterwards, we pack down and leave the area tidy.

Getting ready for the day

  • Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
  • Find out what power and water are available
  • Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

How to get a price

Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
