How our taco bar hire works in Old Alresford
Truck and trailer bookings usually suit around 50 to 400 guests, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers and we’ll plan the taco bar around them. For evening receptions and summer garden parties, we’ll put together a menu of warm corn and flour tortillas, burrito bowls and a build-your-own taco bar for your guests.
In a hamlet or village like Old Alresford, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. We set up the station and our team runs it. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
Old Alresford: venues, access and set-up
Old Alresford is about 7 miles north-east of Winchester, in Hampshire. Events in Old Alresford are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and friendly service on the day. Old Alresford is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire we cover. We cater right across the region, from Old Alresford to Winchester (7 miles away).
If you’re celebrating after a service at a church like Church of St Mary, a hall close by could host a staffed taco bar, with the venue’s permission.

Where the truck can go in Old Alresford
If a space is not suitable, we will tell you, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- Space for a line of guests at the bar
- Power and water, which we confirm when you book
- Permission from the venue for us to set up
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.
Menu ideas
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Vegan fillings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Tortilla chips
- Two to four fillings

What happens on the day
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Around midsummer it stays light in Old Alresford until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is generally served in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, plan good lighting over the station.

Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
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.
Working with your venue
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
How it compares
The difference between a taco bar and truck service is who builds the taco. At the hatch, we make each order; at the bar, guests build their own. Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you can choose what you need.

Old Alresford questions
How far is Old Alresford from London?
It’s about 54 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
How much does taco bar hire cost in Old Alresford?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a quote.
Is the food made fresh?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
How does taco bar hire work?
A serving table is laid with warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and guests build their own tacos. We stay to keep everything hot and stocked.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
