Taco bar hire in Fordingbridge, served fresh
The bar can stand beside our truck or trailer, or on its own. If the truck cannot get to the spot, we park close by, unload and carry the bar in, as long as the venue agrees. At anniversary parties and retirement parties, we can serve warm corn and flour tortillas, fresh salsas and a build-your-own taco bar for your guests.
For a place the size of Fordingbridge, a garden or a hall nearby can suit a taco bar. Our staff set up the station and guests build their own tacos. Let us know about the drive and parking. We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.
A closer look at the menu
Warm tortillas
Corn and flour tortillas, warmed through in batches. Corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.
Salsas
Guests add as much heat as they like.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
What happens on the day
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Around midsummer it stays light in Fordingbridge until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:05pm, 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.
- We suggest fillings, salsas and toppings for the bar and send a quote.
- We agree where the table goes and where our vehicle can unload.
- 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.
Before we arrive

How we price taco bar hire
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The menu you choose
- Staff for serving and the bar
- The length of service
- Whether you need disposables
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
These details help us quote quickly:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Where the event is
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
Fordingbridge questions
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Mary's Church?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
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.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
How does taco bar hire work?
Each guest builds tacos from the fillings, salsas and toppings laid out. We run the bar from set-up to pack-down.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
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.

For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.
Is taco bar hire right for your event?
