Taco bar hire for Bidden events
About our taco bar hire in Bidden
Our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers and we will plan the taco bar around them. For back-garden gatherings and company parties, we can serve a build-your-own taco bar, fresh salsas and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
In a hamlet or village like Bidden, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. We set up the station and our team runs it. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
Perfect for your event in Bidden
The bar can go where a vehicle cannot, such as a courtyard, a barn or a hall, with the venue’s agreement.
We cater all kinds of occasions in Bidden and nearby. Popular bookings include:
- Wedding meals
- Retirement parties
- Marquee parties
- Engagement parties
If you are celebrating after a service at a church like Church of St Mary, a hall close by could host a staffed taco bar, with the venue’s permission.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Is taco bar hire right for your event?
If you want food that feels sociable but still well run, a taco bar is a strong choice for your event. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why us?
- Menus for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests
- Set-up planned with you and your venue
- Events in Bidden and across Hampshire
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both

The process
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A photo of the space helps. Winter evenings in Bidden close in by about 4:00pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. In late June, the light holds until around 9:25pm.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.
- The venue confirms where the bar goes and where we park.
- Our staff set out the bar and guests build their own tacos.
- We clear the bar away after service.
Before we arrive
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
How to get a price
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. Contact us for a quote: just tell us about it on our contact page.

Bidden questions
How far is Bidden from London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like Bidden?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will suggest mild options.
Can you set up where a truck can’t get in?
The bar can stand on its own, away from the truck or trailer. We still need somewhere close to unload our vehicle, and the venue has to agree.
How much does taco bar hire cost?
We quote for each taco bar, based on numbers, fillings, the venue and timings. For a price, send a quick message through our quote form.
How spicy is the food?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
