Taco bar hire in Staplers
Step by step
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain does not usually stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. From late May to late September, sunset in Staplers moves from about 8:55pm to 7:10pm. If the taco bar is outdoors and runs later, tell us what lighting the venue has.
- Begin with the date and headcount.
- We plan fillings and toppings around your guests’ diets.
- Nearer the date, we confirm timings and the serving spot.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- Once service is over, we pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Share the running order, including any speeches

How our taco bar hire works in Staplers
For a bigger spread, burrito bowls, nachos or quesadillas can sit alongside the tacos. Margaritas and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can be added. It works well for garden parties and barn and marquee parties, with a build-your-own taco bar, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and fresh salsas.
For a place the size of Staplers, a garden or a hall nearby can suit a taco bar. We set up and run the station, and guests choose their own fillings and toppings. Let us know about the drive and parking. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

Should I do it myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Diets, allergies and planning
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included. To make it work smoothly:
- Decide where the table goes before the day
- Ask the venue where we can park to unload
- Ensure one filling is vegan
- Tell us when guests should eat
Our staff stand behind the bar to top up dishes and help guests about fillings and allergens.
Add burrito bowls for guests who’d rather skip tortillas.
Staplers: venues, access and set-up
Staplers is about 1 mile east of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. We cater events at gardens, halls and venues around Staplers. We serve in 125 places across the Isle of Wight, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Portsmouth, about 11 miles away.
Parks such as Seaclose Park typically need the owner’s agreement for catering, even without a truck on the grass, so ask before you plan. After a christening or wedding at a church such as St Paul's Church, a taco bar at a hall or garden nearby lets guests build their own tacos. 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.
Here we cover the PO30 postcode area, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. Your event could be at a home on Pan Lane, Ash Road and Mews Lane. Nearby, we also cater events in Barton (1 mile west), Cross Lane (1 mile north-west), Fairlee (1 mile north-west), Hillgrove (1 mile north-east) and Wootton (3 miles north-east). We also cater in nearby towns such as Ryde (5 miles east), Cowes (4 miles north), Sandown (6 miles south-east), Shanklin (6 miles south-east), Ventnor (8 miles south) and East Cowes (4 miles north). Some remote venues need extra planning, so ask early about your event.

Your questions about taco bar hire in Staplers
Could you serve in Seaclose Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Can you serve near the sea around Staplers?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Seafront and beach spots typically need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Can you serve in the rain?
Rain doesn’t generally stop service from the truck or trailer. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
We can. We offer dairy-free options, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
Is the food made fresh?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
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. Tell us how many children are coming.
Planning the serving area
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- Shelter from rain and sun for an outdoor bar
- A clear area in front of the station
For somewhere as remote as Staplers, early notice helps us plan the trip, the route in and power.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.
