Taco bar hire in Compton, served fresh
For a bigger spread, burrito bowls, nachos or quesadillas can sit alongside the tacos. Margaritas and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can be added. On the menu are pickled onions and toppings, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and a build-your-own taco bar, and it is a good fit for back-garden gatherings and evening receptions.
Somewhere as small as Compton, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If the truck can’t get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, though we still need to unload within a short walk. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Taco bars for events around Compton
Compton is about 3 miles south of Winchester, in Hampshire. Events in Compton are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day. We serve in all 683 towns and villages across Hampshire, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.
When the service is at a church such as Church of All Saints, the taco bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. Parks such as St. Cross Park normally need the owner’s agreement for catering, even without a truck on the grass, so ask before you plan.

Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Confirm any allergies to us by email
- Flag any guest with coeliac disease
- Ensure guests have somewhere to sit
- Check where our vehicle can unload
We get there early enough to unload, lay out the table and heat everything through.
Extra salsas, from mild to hot, let guests choose their own heat.
How it compares
For a meal that is hands-on for guests but not for you, a taco bar is a strong choice for your event. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for taco bar hire. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.

Compton: your questions answered
Do you cater in villages like Compton?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
We can, as long as the venue agrees. The station needs room for a queue, and we need to park and unload close to the door.
How big an event can you cater?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.

Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a quote.

We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.

About the menu
Toppings
Pickled onions, coriander, lime, lettuce and cheese.
Hot fillings
Slow-cooked fillings kept hot on the bar, perhaps chicken tinga, birria or carnitas.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
