About our taco bar hire in Havant
The toppings are where guests get creative: pickled onions, coriander, lime, shredded lettuce and cheese, depending on the menu you choose. At wedding breakfasts and barn parties, we can serve guacamole, fresh salsas and pickled onions and toppings.
Halls, marquees and gardens in Havant can all suit a taco bar. It can sit beside our truck or, if the truck can’t get in, on its own near your guests. Either way, we need to unload close by. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.
Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Fit the bar into your running order
- Put allergies in writing for us
- Ask the venue where we can park to unload
- Decide where the table goes before the day
We warm tortillas in batches and keep the fillings hot, so the bar stays fresh from the first plate to the last.
A wider range of salsas suits guests who like it mild and those who like it hot.
What affects the price in Havant
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Serving staff
- Guest numbers
- What the venue already provides
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can feel generous.

Questions from Havant
Could you come to a seaside event near Havant?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
How far is Havant from central London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll recommend how to serve.

That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
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.
How is the food prepared?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
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.
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.
Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

Taco bar hire or something else?
