Taco bar hire near Hound
Taco bar hire in Hound, from our truck or trailer
The bar can stand beside our food truck or trailer, or on its own. If the truck cannot get to the spot, we park close by, unload and carry the bar in, as long as the venue agrees. For summer garden parties and retirement parties, we can serve guacamole, burrito bowls and pickled onions and toppings for your guests.
In a hamlet or village like Hound, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. Our staff set up the station and run it through service. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Planning a taco bar in Hound
Hound is about 3 miles east of Hythe, in Hampshire. We bring taco bar hire to gardens, halls and venues around Hound and the surrounding area. We cater in 683 places in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.
Historic houses near Hound include Medieval Merchant's House (3.4 miles north-west) and Southampton Tudor House and Garden (3.5 miles north-west). Estates and listed houses set their own rules for caterers, so check where a taco bar station and our vehicle would be permitted before you book. Guests leaving a church like Church of St Mary could head to a nearby hall or garden where the taco bar is ready. With the New Forest National Park about 7 miles away at most, a countryside taco bar is an option from Hound. Rural venues may limit vehicles, so ask where we can park and unload. The coast is within about 2 miles of Hound, so for a seaside taco bar we plan around the wind. A sheltered spot for the station helps, and seafront sites usually need permission.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Common questions in Hound
Is Hound close to London?
It is about 69 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Could you serve in Westwood Woodland 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.
Do you cover Hound?
We do. Hound is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Are plates and napkins included?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Do you do a taco bar?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from.
How much is a food truck for an event?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Can you set up where a truck cannot get in?
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.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
