Catering for every guest
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Flag any guest with coeliac disease
- Set out seating near the bar

- Fit the bar into your running order
If speeches or timings run over, we keep the fillings hot and start when you are ready.
Extra salsas, from mild to hot, let guests choose their own heat.
About our taco bar hire in North End
A taco bar puts the whole spread on one table: tortillas kept warm, fillings kept hot, and bowls of salsa, guacamole and toppings. Guests pick up a plate and build their own. It works well for marquee parties and anniversary parties, with burrito bowls, warm corn and flour tortillas and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
In a smaller place like North End, a taco bar in your garden or a local hall keeps things simple. We set up and run the station, and guests choose their own fillings and toppings. Let us know about the drive and parking. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

FAQs for North End
We’re having a ceremony at St. Mark’s: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself is not 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 will check the access.
Which station is closest to North End?
Guests can use Hilsea station, about 1.2 miles north-east of North End.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. For alcohol, we’ll go through the licensing with you and your venue.
How much is a taco bar?
We quote for each taco bar, based on numbers, fillings, the venue and timings. For a price, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
What do you need at the venue?
Access and level ground matter most: 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.
Do you need power and water?
Let us know what’s available on site, for example a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you cover North End?
We do. North End is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
What taco bar hire costs
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Timings and hours
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Parking and the route in
- How many guests we are serving
Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where the event is
- Your date and when you want service to start
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.
Taco bar hire in North End: local tips
North End is about 1 mile north of Portsmouth, in Portsmouth. Give us the address of your event in North End, and we’ll plan the journey and set-up. North End is one of 19 towns and villages in Portsmouth where we can bring taco bar hire.
After a christening or wedding at a church such as St. Mark’s, a taco bar at a hall or garden nearby lets guests build their own tacos. With the A2047 nearby, getting the taco bar to North End is simple for us. With the sea within about 3 miles, a taco bar at a coastal venue is an option. Open toppings and a sea breeze don’t mix, so a sheltered or indoor spot is best.
Anywhere in PO2 and PO1, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests. Your event could be at a home on Knox Road, Croft Road and Kirby Road. North End is on the A2047, which makes it straightforward to bring the truck or trailer.
