Taco bar hire near Hounsdown
Taco bar hire in Hounsdown, served fresh
We can serve the taco bar next to the truck or trailer, or as a separate station. Where a vehicle can’t reach the serving spot, we unload nearby and set the table up there, with the venue’s agreement. For anniversary parties and birthday parties, we’ll put together a menu of a build-your-own taco bar, fresh salsas and burrito bowls and more.
Near Hounsdown, 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 arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Should I do it myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Comparing your options
Pizza is a safe choice, but a taco bar gives guests more say over what they eat. Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Questions from Hounsdown
Which station should guests use for Hounsdown?
The closest is Totton station, roughly 1.1 miles away.
Could you come to a seaside event near Hounsdown?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades generally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Is the food suitable for children?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Do you stay to run the taco bar?
We run the station ourselves, so your hosts do not need to. We pack it away afterwards.
Can you do dairy-free food?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Send us a picture of the access and the space, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
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, guacamole and toppings.
The process
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, so everything runs to your schedule. Winter evenings in Hounsdown close in by about 4:00pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:25pm.
