Taco bar hire in Shobley, from our truck or trailer
We can serve the taco bar next to the truck or trailer, or as a separate station. If the truck cannot get to the spot, we park close by, unload and carry the bar in, as long as the venue agrees. It works well for staff parties and office lunches, with slow-cooked fillings kept hot, a build-your-own taco bar and pickled onions and toppings.
For a rural spot like Shobley, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we’ll confirm power and water with you. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Comparing your options
A standard buffet often sits out cold. Our fillings stay hot and the bowls are topped up as guests come back. Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you choose what goes in.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- What’s on the menu
- Serving staff
- Food, drinks or both
- The length of service
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
Details that help
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- How we drive in and where we can park
- The date and rough timings

How it works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain doesn’t typically stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. In Shobley, 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 typically served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:05pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Send us your date, where the taco bar will go, numbers and dietary needs.
- You get a suggested taco-bar spread and a quote.
- Together we fix the spot for the taco bar and a nearby place for our vehicle.
- We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and guests help themselves.
- When service finishes, we clear the table and pack the vehicle.
Preparing for the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Find out what power and water are available
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

Questions from Shobley
Will you travel to a small place like Shobley?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
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.
What if a vehicle can’t reach the serving spot?
The taco bar can be served from a table or station away from the truck. We still need somewhere close to unload our vehicle, and the venue has to agree.
Who clears up?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Is the food very hot?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Is the taco bar staffed?
We set up and stay to keep the bar hot and stocked through service.
How does a taco bar work?
Guests take a plate and fill their tortillas from the dishes on the bar. Our staff look after the bar throughout.
