Taco bar hire for Knowle events
Taco bar hire in Knowle, served fresh
Taco bars suit wedding breakfasts, parties and office lunches alike. Building your own is quick, which keeps the line moving, and nobody waits long. At garden parties and engagement parties, we can serve pickled onions and toppings, warm corn and flour tortillas and a build-your-own taco bar and more.
Near Knowle, 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. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
Can I do a taco night myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
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.

Common questions in Knowle
Which station should guests use for Knowle?
Guests can use Fareham station, about 2 miles south of Knowle.
Will you travel to a small place like Knowle?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
What do you need at the venue?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Is the food made fresh?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
How the day works
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. Guests come up to order when service opens. In Knowle, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is generally served in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, plan good lighting over the station.

Taco bar hire or something else?
The difference between a taco bar and truck service is who builds the taco. From the truck, we put each order together; at the bar, guests build their own. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
