Taco bar hire near Stonehills
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
How our taco bar hire works in Stonehills
A taco bar suits mixed diets well, because every filling and topping sits in its own dish. We plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, plus allergen information for every dish. At retirement parties and birthday parties, we can serve burrito bowls, warm corn and flour tortillas and slow-cooked fillings kept hot and more.
For a rural spot like Stonehills, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we’ll confirm power and water with you. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.
Who books taco bar hire in Stonehills?
Guests on special diets do not need a separate meal.
Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Common bookings include:
- Engagement parties
- Christenings and family parties
- Birthday celebrations
- Evening wedding receptions
Around Stonehills, historic houses include Beaulieu Palace House (4.6 miles west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, ask early whether a staffed taco bar is allowed and where we could unload.

Planning a taco bar in Stonehills
Stonehills is about 4 miles south-east of Hythe, in Hampshire. Across the SO45 area, we can serve your guests, as long as there is access. We cater in all 683 towns and villages in Hampshire. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 7 miles away.
When the service is at a church such as Church of All Saints, the taco bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. If people are travelling in by rail, Hamble station is about 3.3 miles away. Venues in and around the New Forest National Park, within about 5 miles of Stonehills, sometimes have strict rules about catering and vehicles. Check with yours where a taco bar station and our food truck or trailer could go. The coast is within about 3 miles of Stonehills, so for a seaside taco bar we plan around the wind. A sheltered spot for the station helps, and seafront sites generally need permission.
Anywhere in SO45, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests. Streets in the area include Stonehills and Fawley Bypass, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Ashlett (1 mile north-east), Fawley (1 mile north-west), Sprat's Down (1 mile south), Calshot (1 mile south-east) and Blackfield (1 mile south-west). We also cater in nearby towns such as Gosport (8 miles east), Eastleigh (10 miles north), Fareham (7 miles east), Totton (10 miles north-west), Chandler's Ford (11 miles north) and Hedge End (7 miles north).
Other landmarks nearby include Calshot Castle (1.6 miles east) and Coldeast (4.1 miles north-east). The countryside around Stonehills includes Mercury Marshes.
- Local schools include The New Forest Academy (2.1 miles north-west)
- Nearby, you will find Falcon Hotel (within half a mile north-west)
FAQs for Stonehills
Will you travel to a small place like Stonehills?
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 cater at coastal events near Stonehills?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we will keep their options separate.
When do you arrive?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book.
Can you set up where a truck cannot get in?
The taco bar can be served from a table or station away from the truck. We still need to park our vehicle nearby to unload, and the venue’s agreement.
How much is a taco bar?
There’s no price list, because no two events are the same. Send us your details and we will quote for your event. See what Mexican catering costs for background.
Do you have dairy-free options?
We can. We offer dairy-free options.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If things run behind, let us know and we will adjust where we can. In Stonehills, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is generally served in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Contact us with your 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Ask the venue about power and water
