Taco bars suit wedding breakfasts, parties and office lunches alike. Building your own is quick, which keeps the line moving. It suits birthday celebrations and engagement parties, serving burrito bowls, warm corn and flour tortillas and guacamole.
In a small place like Hook Common, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall.

Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Space, access and the venue
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- A spot next to the truck or trailer when both are booked
- A sheltered spot if we’re serving outside
- A flat spot for the taco-bar station
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

How it compares
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen, waiting staff and fixed courses. A taco bar needs a serving spot, somewhere close to unload and the venue’s agreement, with power and water confirmed when you book. Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Your questions about taco bar hire in Hook Common
Do you set up taco bars indoors in places like Hook Common?
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 serve our guests after a service at St John the Evangelist?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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.
How much is a food truck for an event?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we will reply with a quote.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll check the licensing with you.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
Do you cover Hook Common?
We do. We serve at events in Hook Common and across Hampshire. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
Who clears up?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
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.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Ask the venue where we can park to unload
- Send us allergy details in writing
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Choose at least one vegan filling
We warm tortillas in batches and keep the fillings hot, so the bar stays fresh from the first plate to the last.
Ask us whether a second station would help with big numbers.
