Alverstoke: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Alverstoke for guests?
The closest is Portsmouth Harbour station, roughly 2.1 miles away.
Is Alverstoke close to London?
It is about 68 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
How many guests can you serve?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we will talk it through.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
What’s on the menu?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. See our menu for ideas.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
Can you keep it mild?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Taco bar hire in Alverstoke, served fresh
We bring taco bars to events in and around Alverstoke: from barns and marquees to gardens, halls and offices. It suits back-garden gatherings and milestone birthdays, with burrito bowls, pickled onions and toppings and guacamole.
Near Alverstoke, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we’ll confirm power and water with you. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.
What’s on the menu
Guacamole
Guacamole goes quickly on a taco bar, so we keep it topped up.
Vegan fillings
A vegan filling sits on the bar with the rest, not an afterthought.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
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.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Taco bar hire or something else?
Sandwich platters are convenient but forgettable. Warm tortillas and hot fillings give a lunch more to talk about. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.

What else we do in Alverstoke
Planning a taco bar in Alverstoke
Alverstoke is about 2 miles south of Gosport, in Hampshire. From the centre of Alverstoke to the outskirts, we offer the same service: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. We cover all 683 towns and villages across Hampshire, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.
No room for the truck at home? A hall or club near Alverstoke with parking close by could host the taco bar. If you are celebrating after a service at a church like The Little Church, a hall close by could host a staffed taco bar, with the venue’s permission. With the sea within about 3 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.
For taco bar hire in PO12, we plan around your venue and the route in. Streets in the area include The Lane, Fort Road and Church Road, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby.

How it works
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can spend time with your guests. In Alverstoke, 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 typically served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Start with your date, venue and guest numbers.
- We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.
- We confirm the table spot and where we’ll unload.
- Our staff set out the bar and guests build their own tacos.
- When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
Ask for a quote
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. When you’re ready, tell us about it on our contact page.
