Taco bar hire near Hampton
How our taco bar hire works in Hampton
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. On the menu are fresh salsas, guacamole and warm corn and flour tortillas, and it is a good fit for working lunches and birthday celebrations.
Near Hampton, 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. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.
What taco bar hire costs
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Timings and hours
- The number of people
- What the venue already provides
- How many staff you need
Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will come back with a clear quote.
Catering for every guest
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Collect dietary needs with your replies
- Let us know about anyone who is coeliac
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Put guests with serious allergies in touch with us early
Each dish is labelled, and allergen information is kept at the bar.
A wider range of salsas suits guests who like it mild and those who like it hot.

About the menu
Toppings
Pickled onions, coriander, lime, lettuce and cheese.
Warm tortillas
Tortillas are the base of the bar. We warm them as the bar needs them.
How it works
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. Winter evenings in Hampton close in by about 3:50pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:15pm.
- Begin with the date and headcount.
- We agree a menu that covers every diet.
- Nearer the date, we confirm timings and the serving spot.
- Service starts when your running order says.
- Once service is over, we pack away.
How to prepare
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Name one person we can ask on the day

Hampton: your questions answered
Do you cater at coastal events near Hampton?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades usually need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
We’re having a ceremony at St Andrew's Church: can you cater afterwards?
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.
What if a vehicle cannot reach the serving spot?
The taco bar can sit next to the truck or trailer, or in a spot of its own. Either way, we need to unload nearby and have the venue’s permission.
How much is a taco bar?
We don’t publish set prices, as each booking is different. Share your plans and you will get a quote. Our guide to Mexican catering costs may help.
How long do you serve for?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
Do you need electricity?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we’ll park.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
That’s confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
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.
