DIY taco night versus a caterer
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
How our taco bar hire works in Rownhams
The bar can stand beside our food truck or trailer, or on its own. Where a vehicle can’t reach the serving spot, we unload nearby and set the table up there, as long as the venue agrees. At garden parties and family get-togethers, we will put together a menu of fresh salsas, burrito bowls and slow-cooked fillings kept hot for your guests.
Near Rownhams, a hall or club may suit a taco bar if your own space is tight; the station needs a level surface, the venue’s permission and somewhere to unload. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

Rownhams: your questions answered
Do you cater at coastal events near Rownhams?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Seafront and beach spots generally need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Do you cater in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
We can. We offer dairy-free options, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
How do you handle dietary needs at the taco bar?
There are vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
Do you do parties at home?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
