Taco bar hire for your event in Paulsgrove
Mixed diets are simple at a taco bar, as fillings and toppings are kept in separate dishes. We plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. We serve fresh salsas, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and a build-your-own taco bar, and it is a good fit for evening receptions and christenings and family parties.
Around Paulsgrove, a taco bar can stand beside our truck on a drive or lawn. Where access is tight, the truck stays nearby and the station goes where your guests are, as long as we can unload within a short walk. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Taco bar hire in Paulsgrove: local tips
Paulsgrove is about 3 miles north of Portsmouth, in Portsmouth. Tell us where your event in Paulsgrove will be, and we will plan access and set-up before the day. Paulsgrove is one of 19 places in Portsmouth where we can bring taco bar hire.
The M27 and A27 run on or near Paulsgrove, which makes the journey with the taco bar an easy one. Before you plan a taco bar in Alexandra Park, find out who manages it, as catering and unloading there both need their agreement. With the sea within about 5 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.
Taco bar hire in PO6 is planned around your venue and access. Local streets include Bourne Road, Ludlow Road and Farmlea Road; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. Being close to the M27 and A27, Paulsgrove is simple for us to get to with the truck or trailer for your event. We also serve at events in Wymering (1 mile east), Cosham (1 mile east), Hilsea (2 miles south-east), Widley (2 miles east) and Purbrook Heath (2 miles north-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Portsmouth (3 miles south), Southsea (5 miles south), Milton (4 miles south), Landport (3 miles south), Baffins (3 miles south-east) and Portsea (4 miles south).
Nearby you’ll also find Queen Alexandra Hospital (1.1 miles east) and World War I Remembrance Centre (2.2 miles south-east). Not far away are Southmoor Nature Reserve and Portsdown Hill.
- Schools near Paulsgrove include Castle View Academy (0.7 miles west)
- Nearby, you’ll find The Sir Alec Rose pub (0.6 miles south)
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.

Your questions about taco bar hire in Paulsgrove
What’s the nearest station to Paulsgrove for guests?
The closest is Cosham station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Is it possible to have you in Alexandra Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
How much is a food truck for an event?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
How long are you on site?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book.
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
The process
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a picture of the space if you’re unsure. Evenings in Paulsgrove stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm. Once it gets dark, guests need to see what they’re adding to their tacos.
- Start with the essentials: the date, venue, headcount and diets.
- We suggest fillings, salsas and toppings for the bar and send a quote.
- Together we fix the spot for the taco bar and a nearby place for our vehicle.
- On the day our staff lay out the bar and keep it stocked while guests build their tacos.
- Once guests have eaten, we take down the bar and leave the spot tidy.
