Taco bar hire for Pilley events
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day normally runs: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. In Pilley, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is normally served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Start with your date, venue and guest numbers.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Find out what power and water are available
- Give us your final numbers and diets

Planning a taco bar in Pilley
Pilley is about 2 miles north of Lymington, in Hampshire. From the centre of Pilley to the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We cater in 683 places across Hampshire, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Pilley to Southampton (11 miles away).
If you’re celebrating after a service at a church like Saint Nicholas Chapel, a hall close by could host a staffed taco bar, with the venue’s permission. Historic houses near Pilley include Beaulieu Palace House (4.4 miles north-east). If your event is at a historic house or estate, ask early whether a staffed taco bar is allowed and where we could unload. Pilley is within about 3 miles of the New Forest National Park, 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 3 miles, 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.
Wherever your event is in SO41, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Local streets include Pilley Street, Burnt House Lane and May Lane; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. Other places close to Pilley for taco bar hire include Pilley Bailey (1 mile north-east), Warborne (1 mile south-west), Bull Hill (1 mile east), Portmore (1 mile south-east) and Boldre (1 mile west).

Can I do a taco night myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.

Pilley: your questions answered
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.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Saint Nicholas Chapel?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you stay to run the taco bar?
We run the station ourselves, so your hosts don’t need to. When service ends, we clear it away.
Can you come to a private house?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a picture and we’ll talk it through.
Do you cover Pilley?
We do. We serve at events in Pilley and across Hampshire. Send us your date to check availability.
How many guests can a taco bar serve?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are looked at case by case. Tell us your numbers and we’ll plan the bar around them.
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, including Pilley.
How does taco bar hire work?
A serving table is laid with warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and each guest builds their own. We stay to keep everything hot and stocked.
How we price taco bar hire
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- How many staff you need
- Guest numbers
- Distance and access to the venue
- Whether you need disposables
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
