Taco bar hire for your event in Locks Heath
You choose the fillings with us, perhaps carnitas, chicken tinga or birria, plus a vegan choice such as spiced mushroom or black bean and sweet potato. It works well for summer garden parties and marquee parties, with guacamole, fresh salsas and burrito bowls.
Around Locks Heath, a taco bar can stand beside our truck on a drive or lawn. If the truck can’t reach the garden, we park as close as we can and set the station up where your guests are, as long as we can unload within a short walk. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Easy access from where we unload to the table
- A level area for the taco-bar table
- The venue’s or landowner’s agreement

Your questions about taco bar hire in Locks Heath
How far is Locks Heath from central London?
About 67 miles from central London.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St John?
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.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. For alcohol, we’ll talk licensing through with you and your venue.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we will recommend how to serve.
How long are you on site?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
Is the taco bar staffed?
The taco bar is served from a table or station by our staff, so you don’t need helpers. When service ends, we clear it away.
Do you cover Locks Heath?
Yes, we do. We serve at events in Locks Heath and across Hampshire. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
What access do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Occasions we cater for in Locks Heath

Comparing your options
Sandwich platters are convenient but forgettable. A hot taco bar gives guests something to gather round. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
