Taco bar hire in Fareham, from our truck or trailer
The bar can stand beside our truck or trailer, or on its own. Where a vehicle cannot reach the serving spot, we unload nearby and set the table up there, with the venue’s agreement. We serve a build-your-own taco bar, guacamole and fresh salsas, and it is a good fit for company parties and milestone birthdays.
In Fareham, a taco bar can be set up inside a hall or club, with the venue’s agreement. The station needs space, a route in from the parking area and room to queue. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. Guests come up to order when service opens. Planning an evening taco bar in Fareham?

A build-your-own taco bar in Fareham
Fareham is about 10 miles south-east of Southampton, in Hampshire. Anywhere in PO16, we can serve your guests, as long as there is access. We cover all 683 towns and villages across Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Portsmouth, about 6 miles away.
By road, Fareham is on or near the A27 and A32, so bringing the taco bar and our truck or trailer is straightforward. By rail: Fareham has its own station, Fareham station. With the sea within about 5 miles, a taco bar at a coastal venue is an option. Open toppings and a sea breeze don’t mix, so a sheltered or indoor spot is best.
Wherever your event is in PO16, PO14, PO15 and SO31, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Local streets include Delme Square, High Street and Brookmeadow; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. Fareham is on the A27 and A32, so it is easy for us to reach with the truck or trailer. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Fareham Common (1 mile east), Wallington (1 mile east), North Fareham (1 mile north-east), Peel Common (2 miles south) and Welborne (2 miles north). Further out, we also cater in Winchester (15 miles north), Gosport (4 miles south-east), Havant (9 miles east), Eastleigh (10 miles north-west), Horndean (9 miles north-east) and Totton (14 miles west). As one of the bigger places in Hampshire, Fareham has plenty of venues and spaces for events, though town-centre access for a truck or trailer needs planning.
Other landmarks nearby include Carron Row Farm Museum (1.7 miles west) and Knowle Hospital (2 miles north). The countryside around Fareham includes Portsdown Hill and West of the River Alver.

Common questions in Fareham
Which station should guests use for Fareham?
Guests can use Fareham station, which is right in Fareham.
Do you cater at coastal events near Fareham?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Seafront and beach spots normally need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.

The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Is the food made fresh?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with 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?

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Timings and hours
- Parking and the route in
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
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. Read our guide to taco bars.
