How our taco bar hire works in Woodlands
Taco bars suit wedding breakfasts, parties and office lunches alike. Building your own is quick, which keeps the line moving. It works well for anniversary parties and team socials, serving guacamole, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and pickled onions and toppings.
Near Woodlands, a marquee or barn makes a good home for a taco bar. We set up the station and our team runs it; tell us about access and parking. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.
Working with your venue
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Can I do a taco night myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.

FAQs for Woodlands
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
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.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you cover Woodlands?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Woodlands is within our area. To check your date, use our quote form.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
How many guests can a taco bar serve?
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are looked at case by case. Share your headcount and we’ll size the bar to suit.
How much does taco bar hire cost?
Every taco bar is quoted for individually, based on numbers, fillings, the venue and timings. For a price, send us your details through our quote form.
Do you need power and water?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.
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 keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
How we price taco bar hire
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Distance and access to the venue
- The number of people
- What’s on the menu
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.
Details that help
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- The date and rough timings
- Diets and allergies you know about
- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and you will get menu ideas and a price. To get started, use our quote form.
