Taco bar hire in Emsworth
How our taco bar hire works in Emsworth
We can serve the taco bar next to the truck or trailer, or as a separate station. Where a vehicle cannot reach the serving spot, we unload nearby and set the table up there, as long as the venue agrees. On the menu are fresh salsas, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and a build-your-own taco bar, and it suits engagement and anniversary parties and staff parties.
A place like Emsworth 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 the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

What happens on the day
Once service is over, we pack up and leave our area tidy. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. In Emsworth, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Send us your date, where the taco bar will go, numbers and dietary needs.
- You get a suggested taco-bar spread and a quote.
- Before the day, we confirm the serving spot, unloading, power and water with the venue.
- We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and guests help themselves.
- Once guests have eaten, we take down the bar and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Find out what power and water are available
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough

Your questions about taco bar hire in Emsworth
Could you come to a seaside event near Emsworth?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St James?
Yes. The church itself is not 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.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
What about power on site?
Tell us what the site has, for example a supply from the venue, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.
Is a taco bar good for vegans and gluten-free guests?
Keeping each dish separate makes mixed diets easier, though we can’t guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Is a taco bar right for a wedding?
It can serve the wedding meal, the evening or both. We agree the timings with your venue, and guests build their own plates.
Is a taco bar suitable for a big group?
Our service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are looked at case by case. Tell us your numbers and we’ll plan the bar around them.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Planning for every diet
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Confirm any allergies to us by email
- Include a vegan filling on the bar
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
We get there early enough to unload, lay out the table and heat everything through.
Burrito bowls sit well on the bar for anyone avoiding tortillas.
