Taco bar hire in Durley, from our food truck or trailer
A taco bar puts the whole spread on one table: tortillas kept warm, fillings kept hot, and bowls of salsa, guacamole and toppings. Guests pick up a plate and build their own. It works well for barn and marquee parties and wedding breakfasts, with burrito bowls, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and a build-your-own taco bar.
Near Durley, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we’ll confirm power and water with you. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
About the menu
Salsas
A row of salsas, mild to hot, made for your event.
Vegan fillings

Catering for every guest
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Collect dietary needs with your replies
- Plan the taco bar around speeches and timings
- Check where our vehicle can unload
- Pick the spot for the taco bar in advance
Staff stay at the taco bar to refill bowls and answer questions.
Ask us whether a second station would help with big numbers.
Durley: your questions answered
Which station should guests use for Durley?
Hedge End station, about 1.6 miles south-west of the centre.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of the Holy Cross: 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 will check the access.
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.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Our truck and trailer service normally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will suggest mild options.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
