How our taco bar hire works in Drayton
We run the taco bar ourselves: keeping the fillings hot, warming tortillas and topping up the bowls. Nobody from your side needs to lift a spoon. At wedding meals and family get-togethers, we can serve warm corn and flour tortillas, burrito bowls and fresh salsas for your guests.
A place like Drayton may have a hall or a club nearby if your garden is small; we need the venue’s permission, a level spot and somewhere to unload. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

For planners, venues and organisers
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. 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 anything containing allergens.

Drayton: venues, access and set-up
Drayton is about 2 miles south of Purbrook, in Portsmouth. Wherever your event is in the PO6 area, we can serve your guests, as long as there is access. Drayton is one of 19 towns and villages in Portsmouth where we can bring taco bar hire.
If you are celebrating after a service at a church like Drayton Methodist Church, a hall close by could host a staffed taco bar, with the venue’s permission. Close to Drayton are historic houses such as Warblington Castle (3.4 miles east). If your event is at a historic house or estate, ask early whether a staffed taco bar is allowed and where we could unload. Drayton is within about 5 miles of the sea, so for a seaside taco bar we plan around the wind. A sheltered spot for the station helps, and seafront sites typically need permission.
Taco bar hire in PO6 is planned around your venue and access. Whether your event is on Galt Road, Hirst Road and Court Lane or anywhere nearby, we can bring taco bar hire there, given access. Other places close to Drayton for taco bar hire include Farlington (1 mile east), Widley (1 mile north), Cosham (1 mile west), Wymering (1 mile west) and Hilsea (2 miles south-west). Larger places within reach include Portsmouth (3 miles south-west), Southsea (4 miles south), Milton (4 miles south), Landport (3 miles south-west), Baffins (3 miles south) and Rudmore (3 miles south-west).
Other landmarks nearby include Portchester Castle (3.1 miles west) and World War I Remembrance Centre (1 mile south). Green spaces nearby include Portsdown Hill and Southmoor Nature Reserve.

Questions from Drayton
Which station is closest to Drayton?
The closest is Cosham station, roughly 1 mile away.
We’re having a ceremony at Drayton Methodist Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
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.
What about power on site?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Is the taco bar staffed?
We run the station ourselves, so you don’t need helpers. When service ends, we clear it away.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
