About taco bar hire in Southampton

Toppings make the bar: lime wedges, coriander, pickled onions, cheese and crema, agreed with you in advance. On the menu are a build-your-own taco bar, burrito bowls and fresh salsas, and it suits christenings and family parties and anniversary parties.

We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens.

  1. Send us the date, venue and numbers.
  2. We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.
  3. We confirm the table spot and where we will unload.
  4. On the day, guests help themselves while we keep the bar stocked.
  5. We clear the bar away after service.

Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.

You are not limited to places a truck can park, such as a courtyard, a barn or a hall, with the venue’s agreement.

Here are some of the events we cater in Southampton and Southampton:

  • Company parties
  • Leaving dos
  • Working lunches
  • Engagement parties

DIY taco night versus a caterer

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.

Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
