Your questions about taco bar hire in Mansbridge
What’s the nearest station to Mansbridge for guests?
Guests can use Swaythling station, about 0.6 miles north-west of Mansbridge.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Riverside 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’ll send what they need from us.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us 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). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Send us a photo of the access and the space.
What do you need at the venue?
A level spot for the serving table, room to queue and somewhere close to unload our vehicle. We confirm power and water when you book.
How our taco bar hire works in Mansbridge
Add burrito bowls, loaded nachos or quesadillas if you’d like more choice. Margaritas and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can be added, with licensing checked with you. For family get-togethers and marquee parties, we can serve pickled onions and toppings, burrito bowls and a build-your-own taco bar.

How it works
When we arrive, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, planned around your event. In Mansbridge, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Begin with the date and headcount.
- We plan fillings and toppings around your guests’ diets.
- We fix timings with you and the venue.
- Service starts when your running order says.
- Once service is over, we pack away.
How to prepare
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in

We arrive with time to unload and set the bar up before guests eat.
