For guests coming by train, Rowlands Castle has its own station, Rowlands Castle station. Around Rowlands Castle, historic houses include Warblington Castle (3 miles south).

Taco bar hire in Rowlands Castle, served fresh
You choose the fillings with us, perhaps carnitas, chicken tinga or birria, plus a vegan choice such as spiced mushroom or black bean and sweet potato. It works well for birthday parties and barn and marquee parties, with fresh salsas, a build-your-own taco bar and guacamole.
Around Rowlands Castle, a taco bar can stand beside our truck on a drive or lawn. Where access is tight, the truck stays nearby and the station goes where your guests are. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.
Why choose taco bar hire in Rowlands Castle?
The bar can go where a vehicle can’t, such as a courtyard, a barn or a hall, with the venue’s agreement.
Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Typical bookings include:
- Wedding day food
- Office lunches
- Retirement parties
- Birthday celebrations
If you are celebrating after a service at a church like The Church on the Green, a hall close by could host a staffed taco bar, with the venue’s permission.
Before booking anyone
- Space, access, power and water needs
- If the price includes VAT
- The wet-weather plan
- How dietary needs and allergies are handled
Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Questions from Rowlands Castle
Do you come to events in the South Downs 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.
Can you cater a reception after a service at The Church on the Green?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
How long are you on site?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
Is the food very hot?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
Can you set up where a truck can’t get in?
The taco bar can sit next to the truck or trailer, or in a spot of its own. We need a nearby place to unload, plus the venue’s agreement.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
Is a taco bar good for vegans and gluten-free guests?
We plan vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
What taco bar hire costs
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- How many guests we are serving
- Food, drinks or both
- The menu you choose
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you can choose what you need.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- A picture of where we’d park
The quickest way to a quote is to tell us about it on our contact page. Give us the details of your event, and we’ll suggest a menu to suit.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.

How it compares
A sandwich platter is easy to order but rarely remembered. Warm tortillas and hot fillings give a lunch more to talk about. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.

How the day works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Evenings in Rowlands Castle stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm. Once it gets dark, guests need to see what they’re adding to their tacos.
