Taco bar hire in Thorns Beach
About our taco bar hire in Thorns Beach
Fillings are agreed with you, perhaps carnitas, chicken tinga or birria, with a vegan filling like black bean and sweet potato or spiced mushroom. For barn and marquee parties and office lunches, we can serve guacamole, burrito bowls and pickled onions and toppings for your guests.
In a small place like Thorns Beach, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If the truck can’t get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, though we still need to unload within a short walk. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.

DIY taco night versus 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.
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 enjoy the party, let us serve.

Thorns Beach questions
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
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 at coastal events near Thorns Beach?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Seafront and beach spots usually need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t generally stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a picture of the access and the space.
Do you come to Thorns Beach?
Yes, we do. We serve at events in Thorns Beach and across Hampshire. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
How much is a food truck for an event?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually need. Tell us your date and numbers and we’ll reply with a quote.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will suggest the best set-up.
Planning a taco bar in Thorns Beach
Thorns Beach is about 5 miles east of Lymington, in Hampshire. Whether your event is in the middle of Thorns Beach or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. Thorns Beach is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire we cover. We cater right across the region, from Thorns Beach to Southampton (about 11 miles away).
Around Thorns Beach, historic houses include Beaulieu Palace House (3.8 miles north). Historic venues often limit where vehicles can go, so ask whether a taco bar station could be set up inside while our food truck or trailer parks further off. With the New Forest National Park about 4 miles away at most, a countryside taco bar is an option from Thorns Beach. Rural venues may limit vehicles, so ask where we can park and unload. With the sea within about 5 miles, a taco bar at a coastal venue is an option. Open toppings and a sea breeze do not mix, so a sheltered or indoor spot is best.
We cater events across the SO42 postcode area and the streets around it. Nearby, we also cater events in East End (2 miles west), Norleywood (3 miles west), Hamstead (3 miles south), Cranmore (4 miles south) and Bouldnor (4 miles south).
