Taco bar hire in Bassett Green
Taco bar hire in Bassett Green, served fresh
Taco bars suit wedding breakfasts, parties and office lunches alike. Guests build their plates quickly, so a crowd moves through steadily. It suits back-garden gatherings and leaving and retirement parties, serving fresh salsas, burrito bowls and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
Near Bassett Green, a hall or club may suit a taco bar if your own space is tight; the station needs a level surface, the venue’s permission and somewhere to unload. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

How we price taco bar hire
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long we’re needed on site
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Food, drinks or both
- Parking and the route in
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Your menu ideas
- How we drive in and where we can park

Bassett Green: your questions answered
Which station should guests use for Bassett Green?
Guests can use Swaythling station, about 0.6 miles east of Bassett Green.
Could you serve in Riverside Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Southampton included. Find your area.
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, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Can you keep it mild?
That is your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
What about power on site?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we will park.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll recommend how to serve.
Planning for every diet
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first
- Agree the serving spot with your venue early
- Collect dietary needs with your replies
- Fit the bar into your running order
We warm tortillas in batches and keep the fillings hot.
Burrito bowls sit well on the bar for anyone avoiding tortillas.

Step by step
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. Winter evenings in Bassett Green close in by about 4:00pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Start with the essentials: the date, venue, headcount and diets.
- We suggest fillings, salsas and toppings for the bar and send a quote.
- Together we fix the spot for the taco bar and a nearby place for our vehicle.
- On the day our staff lay out the bar and keep it stocked while guests build their tacos.
- When service finishes, we clear the table and pack the vehicle.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Ask the venue about power and water
