FAQs for Freemantle
Could you serve in Blechynden Terrace Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Could you come to a seaside event near Freemantle?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades normally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Is the food made fresh?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Do you come to Freemantle?
We do. We serve at events in Freemantle and across Southampton. Send us your date to check availability.
About our taco bar hire in Freemantle
We can serve the taco bar next to the truck or trailer, or as a separate station. If the truck can’t get to the spot, we park close by, unload and carry the bar in, with the venue’s agreement. At leaving and retirement parties and back-garden gatherings, we will put together a menu of slow-cooked fillings kept hot, pickled onions and toppings and warm corn and flour tortillas for your guests.
For a place the size of Freemantle, a garden or a hall nearby can suit a taco bar. Our staff set up the station and guests build their own tacos. Tell us where we can park and unload. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

Why choose taco bar hire in Freemantle?
A taco bar and a truck serve the same food in different ways. At the hatch, we make each order; at the taco bar, guests do the building. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.
What you get with us
- We cover Freemantle and the whole of Southampton
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- Quoted for your event
- Allergen information for every dish

DIY taco night or a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Planning the serving area
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Shelter from rain and sun for an outdoor bar
- Room for guests to queue along the table
- Room for the bar alongside the vehicle, if booked together
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
Popular choices
- Two to four fillings
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Salsas and guacamole
- Vegan fillings
- Tortilla chips
About the menu
Salsas
A row of salsas, mild to hot, made for your event.
Vegan fillings
Black bean and sweet potato, or spiced mushrooms, cooked separately.
For planners, venues and organisers
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
Organising a club, school or community event in Freemantle? A truck or trailer serves a crowd quickly, with options for most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.
The process
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a picture of the space if you are unsure. A December taco bar in Freemantle will be in the dark from about 4:00pm, so set the station up where the lighting is good. In late June, the light holds until around 9:25pm.
- Send us your date, where the taco bar will go, numbers and dietary needs.
- We plan the fillings and toppings with you and quote for them.
- We agree where the table goes and where our vehicle can unload.
- On the day our staff lay out the bar and keep it stocked while guests build their tacos.
- Once guests have eaten, we take down the bar and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Share the running order, including any speeches
