The toppings are where guests get creative: pickled onions, coriander, lime, shredded lettuce and cheese. At anniversary parties and summer garden parties, we can serve burrito bowls, warm corn and flour tortillas and pickled onions and toppings for your guests.
Near Fratton, a hall or club may suit a taco bar if your own space is tight; we need the venue’s permission, a level spot and somewhere to unload. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Why choose taco bar hire in Fratton?

Almost any gathering can work with a truck or trailer. People in Fratton can book us for occasions like:
- Anniversary parties
- Family get-togethers
- Staff parties
- Milestone birthdays
Parks such as Alexandra Park usually need the owner’s agreement for catering, even without a truck on the grass, so ask before you plan.
What your quote should include
- Who provides plates and napkins
- VAT, if it applies
- Space, access, power and water needs

Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
For planners, venues and organisers
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.

Fratton questions
Do you cater at coastal events near Fratton?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades usually need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
How far is Fratton from London?
About 64 miles from central London.
Can guests build tacos at a wedding breakfast?
The taco bar can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. Timings are agreed with you and your venue.
What space does a taco bar need?
Tell us about the venue and the spot you have in mind, and we’ll check it works. We also need the venue’s permission.
Who clears up?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll talk it through.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.
What about power on site?
Let us know what’s available on site, for example a supply from the venue, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Can the taco bar cater for special diets?
Fillings and toppings sit in separate dishes, which helps with mixed diets, though we can’t guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
What we need at the venue
We will agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Power and water, which we confirm when you book
- A spot next to the truck or trailer when both are booked
- A clear route from the vehicle to the serving spot
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

The menu, item by item
Hot fillings
You might choose two or three fillings. You choose them with us.
Warm tortillas
Corn and flour tortillas, warmed through in batches so there is always one ready. The corn ones suit gluten-free guests.
Step by step
Once service is over, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. Around midsummer it stays light in Fratton until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is generally served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.

- We agree a menu that covers every diet.
