Taco bar hire in St Lawrence, served fresh
A taco bar suits mixed diets well, as fillings and toppings are kept in separate dishes. We plan vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, plus allergen information for every dish. At office lunches and anniversary parties, we can serve burrito bowls, pickled onions and toppings and warm corn and flour tortillas for your guests.

Comparing your options
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen, waiting staff and fixed courses. For a taco bar, we need a serving spot, a nearby place to unload and the venue’s permission, and power and water are confirmed with each booking. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can feel generous.

Common questions in St Lawrence
Do you come out to small places like St Lawrence?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Do you set up taco bars indoors in places like St Lawrence?
Yes, if the venue allows outside caterers. We need a short route from where we park to the room, and space for the station and a queue.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we’ll talk it through.
What is a build-your-own taco bar?
Each guest builds tacos from the fillings, salsas and toppings laid out. Our staff look after the bar throughout.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will include them in the plan.
Is the food very hot?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will recommend how to serve.
What do you need at the venue?
A level spot for the serving table, room to queue and somewhere close to unload our vehicle. We confirm power and water when you book.
Planning a taco bar in St Lawrence
St Lawrence is about 4 miles south-west of Shanklin, in the Isle of Wight. Give us the address of your event in St Lawrence, and we’ll plan the journey and set-up before the day. St Lawrence is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight we cover. Our truck and trailer cover the area from St Lawrence to Portsmouth (17 miles away).
Guests leaving a church like St Lawrence's Church could head to a nearby hall or garden where the taco bar is ready. No room for the truck at home? A hall or club near St Lawrence with parking close by could host the taco bar. St Lawrence 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 generally need permission.
