DIY taco night versus a caterer
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.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Taco bar hire in North Hayling, from our truck or trailer
Mixed diets are simple at a taco bar, as fillings and toppings are kept in separate dishes. There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, plus allergen information for every dish. It works well for birthday celebrations and leaving and retirement parties, with fresh salsas, pickled onions and toppings and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
In a hamlet or village like North Hayling, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. We set up the station and our team runs it; tell us about access and parking. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
Your questions about taco bar hire in North Hayling
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Peter: 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’ll check the access.
Is North Hayling close to London?
It’s about 60 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
How do you handle dietary needs at the taco bar?
Keeping each dish separate makes mixed diets easier, though we can’t guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Share your headcount and we will size the bar to suit.
How does taco bar hire work?
Guests take a plate and fill their tortillas from the dishes on the bar. We run the bar from set-up to pack-down.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a picture of the access and the space, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
How long do you serve for?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
Taco bar hire or something else?
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. Ask us for a quote.

Planning for every diet
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ensure one filling is vegan
- Put allergies in writing for us
- Ask the venue where we can park to unload
- Fit the bar into your running order
Staff stay at the taco bar to refill bowls and answer questions.
Our drinks bar can sit alongside the taco bar with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Organising for someone else?
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- What the venue already provides
- Guest numbers
- How long we’re needed on site
- What’s on the menu
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.
What to tell us
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- How we drive in and where we can park
- The address or venue name
- Diets and allergies you know about
Still deciding on the menu? That’s fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will suggest a menu. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.

What happens on the day
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you are ready, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. Around midsummer it stays light in North Hayling until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, plan good lighting over the station.
