Taco bar hire in Lockerley, served fresh
A taco bar puts the whole spread on one table: warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Guests pick up a plate and build their own. At evening wedding receptions and back-garden gatherings, we can serve warm corn and flour tortillas, guacamole and fresh salsas.
In a small place like Lockerley, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If the truck cannot get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
Before you choose a spot
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- Space for a serving table on level ground
- Space for a line of guests at the bar
- A short, clear path for carrying the bar in
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
Popular choices
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Vegan fillings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Two to four fillings

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Is taco bar hire right for your event?
A taco bar and a truck serve the same food in different ways. At the hatch, we make each order; at the bar, guests build their own. Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you choose what goes in.
Why book with us
- Catering across Hampshire, including Lockerley
- Allergen information for everything we serve
- Set-up planned with you and your venue
