FAQs for Denmead
Is Denmead close to London?

What’s the nearest station to Denmead for guests?
Guests can use Cosham station, about 4.1 miles south of Denmead.
What does taco bar hire cost?
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
What if a vehicle can’t reach the serving spot?
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.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
What is a build-your-own taco bar?
A serving table is laid with warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and guests build their own tacos. We stay to keep everything hot and stocked.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
How our taco bar hire works in Denmead
We bring taco bars to events in and around Denmead: marquees, barns, gardens, halls and workplaces, wherever there is room for the table. For barn and marquee parties and milestone birthdays, we’ll put together a menu of fresh salsas, pickled onions and toppings and burrito bowls for your guests.
In and around Denmead, a taco bar works beside the truck or in a hall nearby. Where access is tight, the truck stays nearby and the station goes where your guests are, as long as we can unload within a short walk. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll be honest if a space won’t work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Power and water, which we confirm when you book
- Room for the bar alongside the vehicle, if booked together
- Space for a line of guests at the bar
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

On the day, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. We’re ready to serve at the agreed time, so everything runs to your schedule. A December taco bar in Denmead 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.

Catering for every guest
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:

- Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
Fillings are kept hot and tortillas warmed in batches, so the bar stays fresh from the first plate to the last.
Our food truck or trailer can serve later in the day, after the taco bar.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
