Close to Queen's Bower are historic houses such as Haseley Manor (1.5 miles west) and Morton Manor (2.3 miles north-east).

For guests coming by train, Sandown station is about 1.4 miles away. Queen's Bower is within about 2 miles of the sea, so for a seaside taco bar we plan around the wind. A sheltered spot for the station helps, and seafront sites normally need permission.

What happens on the day
Once service is over, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. In Queen's Bower, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is typically served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- Together we choose what goes on the bar.
- 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.
