Taco bar hire for Hill Head events
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- A clear route from the vehicle to the serving spot
- A flat spot for the taco-bar station
- Space beside the truck or trailer if you’re booking both
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
What we offer
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Vegan fillings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Tortilla chips
- Two to four fillings
- Corn and flour tortillas
Taco bar hire for your event in Hill Head
Toppings make the bar: pickled onions, coriander, lime, shredded lettuce and cheese, depending on the menu you choose. At office lunches and evening receptions, we can serve pickled onions and toppings, warm corn and flour tortillas and slow-cooked fillings kept hot and more.
Near Hill Head, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer.
Hill Head: your questions answered
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
We can, as long as the venue agrees. The station needs room for a queue, and we need to park and unload close to the door.
Could you come to a seaside event near Hill Head?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades generally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
How much does taco bar hire cost in Hill Head?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.
What does a taco bar cost?
We don’t publish set prices, as each booking is different. Send us your details and we will quote for your event. Our guide to Mexican catering costs may help.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not normally stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
What if a vehicle can’t reach the serving spot?
The bar can stand on its own, away from the truck or trailer. We still need to park our vehicle nearby to unload, and the venue’s agreement.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
That depends on your timings and the event. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.
Do you give allergen information?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.

Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Agree the serving spot with your venue early
- Include a vegan filling on the bar
- Check where our vehicle can unload
Once guests have eaten, we clear the table and pack up and leave the spot tidy.
Extra salsas, from mild to hot, let guests choose their own heat.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
How it works
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. In Hill Head, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Begin with the date and headcount.
- We agree a menu that covers every diet.
- Nearer the date, we confirm timings and the serving spot.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- We clear our station when service ends.
Preparing for the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
How to get a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and you will get menu ideas and a price. Just tell us about it on our contact page.

Hill Head is about 3 miles south-west of Fareham, in Hampshire. We serve at events in gardens, halls and venues around Hill Head and nearby villages.
