The A397 run on or near Cosham, which makes the journey with the taco bar an easy one. Coastal events near Cosham, within about 5 miles of the sea, bring wind into the planning.

How our taco bar hire works in Cosham

Should I do it myself?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
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.
Working with your venue
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Planning for every diet
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included. To get it right:
- Confirm any allergies to us by email
- Fit the bar into your running order
- Decide where the table goes before the day
- Collect dietary needs with your replies
A covered spot keeps the bar and guests dry if it rains, so plan somewhere sheltered if you can.
Burrito bowls sit well on the bar for anyone avoiding tortillas.
FAQs for Cosham
Could you serve in Alexandra Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Can you serve near the sea around Cosham?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades generally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Are plates and napkins included?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
How long do you serve for?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
What access do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
What does a taco bar cost?
We don’t publish set prices, as each booking is different. Share your plans and you will get a quote. See what Mexican catering costs for background.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Portsmouth included. See all areas.
How does taco bar hire work?
We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings on a serving table, and each guest builds their own. We stay to keep everything hot and stocked.
How it works
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. A December taco bar in Cosham will be in the dark from about 4:00pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Begin with the date and headcount.
- We plan fillings and toppings around your guests’ diets.
- Nearer the date, we confirm timings and the serving spot.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- We clear our station when service ends.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in

What affects the price in Cosham
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Serving staff
- Guest numbers
- Distance and access to the venue
- Your choice of food and drinks
Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Where the event is
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
Perfect for your event in Cosham
Guests choose exactly what goes on their plate, which cuts down on special orders.
We can help if you’re planning any of the following:
- Barn and marquee parties
- Evening receptions
- Retirement parties
- Team lunches
Nearby historic houses include Warblington Castle (4.4 miles east). Historic venues often limit where vehicles can go, so ask whether a taco bar station could be set up inside while our truck or trailer parks further off.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether plates, napkins and cutlery are included
- The caterer’s food hygiene rating
- The deadline for final numbers
- Staff numbers and hours
Planning the serving area
If a space isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- Shelter from rain and sun for an outdoor bar
- A clear area in front of the station
- The venue’s agreement for the taco bar and our vehicle
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.
