Taco bar hire for Townsend events
How our taco bar hire works in Townsend
We run the taco bar ourselves: keeping the fillings hot, warming tortillas and topping up the bowls. Your hosts can stay with their guests. We serve burrito bowls, warm corn and flour tortillas and guacamole, and it is a good fit for family get-togethers and back-garden gatherings.
In a hamlet or village like Townsend, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. Our staff set up the station and run it through service; tell us about access and parking. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.
Townsend: venues, access and set-up
Townsend is about 3 miles south-west of Tadley, in Hampshire. Anywhere in RG26, we’ll come to your venue or site, as long as there’s access. Townsend is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover. We cater right across the region, from Townsend to Basingstoke (about 6 miles away).
When the service is at a church such as Church of St Catherine, the taco bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. Nearby historic houses include The Vyne (4.7 miles east). Estates and listed houses set their own rules for caterers, so check where a taco bar station and our vehicle would be permitted before booking.
Anywhere in RG26, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. For events just outside Townsend, we cover Wolverton Common (1 mile north), Axmansford (2 miles north), West Heath (2 miles east), Ramsdell (2 miles south-east) and Baughurst (2 miles north-east). We also cater in nearby towns such as Basingstoke (6 miles south-east), Andover (15 miles south-west), Alton (15 miles south-east), Tadley (3 miles north-east), Hook (11 miles east) and Popley (5 miles south-east).

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Planners, venues and businesses
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.

How it works
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. Winter evenings in Townsend close in by about 4:00pm, so set the station up where the lighting is good. In late June, the light holds until around 9:25pm.
