Taco bar hire for Nursling events
Taco bar hire in Nursling, from our food truck or trailer
Our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are quoted case by case. Share your headcount and we will size the taco bar to match. It suits evening wedding receptions and summer garden parties, serving fresh salsas, a build-your-own taco bar and warm corn and flour tortillas.
Around Nursling, a taco bar can stand beside our truck on a drive or lawn. If the truck cannot 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. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Taco bar hire or something else?
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen, waiting staff and fixed courses. For a taco bar, we need a serving spot, a nearby place to unload and the venue’s permission, and power and water are confirmed with each booking. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.

Step by step
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain does not generally stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. In Nursling, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is usually served in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.
- We confirm the table spot and where we’ll unload.
- Our staff set out the bar and guests build their own tacos.
- We clear the bar away after service.
Before we arrive
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat

Where the truck can go in Nursling
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:

- A short, clear path for carrying the bar in
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Planning a taco bar in Nursling
Nursling is about 2 miles north-east of Totton, in Southampton. We serve at events in gardens, halls and venues around Nursling. Nursling is one of 40 places in Southampton where we can bring taco bar hire.
If you are celebrating after a service at a church like Lord's Hill Church, a hall close by could host a staffed taco bar, with the venue’s permission. By rail: the nearest station is Redbridge station, about 1.6 miles south. With the New Forest National Park about 7 miles away at most, a countryside taco bar is an option from Nursling. Rural venues may limit vehicles, so ask where we can park and unload. Nursling is within about 5 miles of the sea, so for a seaside taco bar we plan around the wind. A sheltered spot for the station helps, and seafront sites usually need permission.
For taco bar hire in SO16, we plan around your venue and the route in and your guests. Whether your event is on Station Road, Chambers Close and Cranmer Drive or a nearby road, we can bring taco bar hire there, given access.

FAQs for Nursling
Do you cater in the New Forest National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
We are having a ceremony at Lord's Hill Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Can you set up where a truck cannot get in?
The taco bar can be served from a table or station away from the truck. We still need somewhere close to unload our vehicle, and the venue has to agree.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.
How much is a taco bar?
There is no price list, because no two events are the same. Share your plans and you’ll get a quote. See what Mexican catering costs for background.
