DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is 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.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Taco bar hire for your event in Setley
With a taco bar, everything is laid out in one place: warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Each guest takes a plate and fills it their way. For team lunches and back-garden gatherings, we’ll put together a menu of guacamole, warm corn and flour tortillas and a build-your-own taco bar for your guests.
Near Setley, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If things run behind, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can. In Setley, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.
- We confirm the table spot and where we’ll unload.
- On the day, guests help themselves while we keep the bar stocked.
- When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely

A build-your-own taco bar in Setley
Setley is about 4 miles north of Lymington, in Hampshire. From the centre of Setley to the outskirts, taco bar hire works the same way: fresh service from our truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. Setley is one of 683 places in Hampshire where we can bring taco bar hire. We cater right across the region, from Setley to Southampton (about 11 miles away).
If people are travelling in by rail, Brockenhurst station is about 0.6 miles away. The New Forest National Park is within about a mile of Setley, 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 5 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.
This part of Hampshire takes in SO42. Your event could be at a home on Tilebarn Lane and Lymington Road. For events just outside Setley, we cover Brockenhurst (1 mile north), South Weirs (1 mile west), Balmerlawn (1 mile north), Lyndhurst (5 miles north) and Emery Down (5 miles north). Larger places within reach include Eastleigh (15 miles north-east), Totton (8 miles north), Chandler's Ford (15 miles north-east), Hedge End (14 miles north-east), Lymington (4 miles south) and Romsey (13 miles north).

Setley: your questions answered
Do you set up taco bars indoors in places like Setley?
We can, as long as the venue agrees. The station needs room for a queue, and we need to park and unload close to the door.
Do you cater 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.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
Do you have dairy-free options?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
How much is a taco bar?
We don’t publish set prices, as each booking is different. Send us your details and we’ll quote for your event. Our guide to Mexican catering costs may help.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
How long do you serve for?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
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 go through the licensing with you.
Planning the serving area
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Room for the bar alongside the vehicle, if booked together
- A parking or loading spot near the serving area
- Cover overhead if the bar is outdoors
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
