DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
How we price taco bar hire
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Food, drinks or both
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Parking and the route in
- How long we’re needed on site
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- What power and water the site has
- The address or venue name
- The date and time of the event
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and you’ll get menu ideas and a price. Just send us your details through our quote form.
A build-your-own taco bar in Chalton
Chalton is about 3 miles north-east of Horndean, in Hampshire. Anywhere in PO8, we can bring the truck or trailer to you. Chalton is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Chalton to Chichester (about 10 miles away).
Guests arriving without a car will want to know that the nearest station is Rowlands Castle station, about 3.1 miles south. Before you plan a taco bar in Ditcham Park, find out who manages it, as catering and unloading there both need their agreement. Chalton is within about 5 miles of the South Downs National Park, with barns and country venues that could host a taco bar. Where vehicles can’t reach the room, the station can be set up there with the venue’s agreement, but we still need to unload close by.
Taco bar hire in PO8 is planned around your venue and access and timings. For events just outside Chalton, we cover Blendworth (2 miles south-west), Buriton (3 miles north), Forestside (3 miles south-east), West Marden (3 miles south-east) and Weston (4 miles north). We also cater in nearby towns such as Gosport (12 miles south-west), Havant (5 miles south), Fareham (12 miles south-west), Horndean (3 miles south-west), Alton (15 miles north) and Hedge End (15 miles west).

Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Count children separately
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first
- Ask the venue where we can park to unload
- Let us know about anyone who is coeliac
A covered spot keeps the bar and guests dry if it rains.
Ask us whether a second station would help with big numbers, quoted for your event.
