Taco bar hire for your event in Penton Corner
For a bigger spread, burrito bowls, nachos or quesadillas can sit alongside the tacos. Our drinks bar can be booked with it too. For birthday parties and retirement parties, we can serve a build-your-own taco bar, burrito bowls and fresh salsas and more.
Somewhere as small as Penton Corner, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.
How it compares
A taco bar and a truck serve the same food in different ways. At the hatch, we make each order; at the bar, guests build their own. Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Your quote confirms the full price.
Why us?
- Book food, drinks or both
- Events in Penton Corner and across Hampshire

Your questions about taco bar hire in Penton Corner
Do you set up taco bars indoors in places like Penton Corner?
Yes, with the venue’s permission. We need a short route from where we park to the room, and space for the station and a queue.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Holy Trinity Church?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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.
Is the food made fresh?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Can we have a taco bar at our wedding?
A taco bar makes a relaxed, sociable wedding meal. Service is timed around speeches and photos. Read our taco bar guide for ideas.
Are plates and napkins included?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Can you serve in the rain?
Rain doesn’t normally stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
How many guests can a taco bar serve?
That depends on your timings and the event. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
For event organisers in Penton Corner
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Step by step
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 photo of the space if you’re unsure. Winter evenings in Penton Corner close in by about 4:00pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Tell us the date, the venue, how many guests and any diets.
- We suggest fillings, salsas and toppings for the bar and send a quote.
- Before the day, we confirm the serving spot, unloading, power and water with the venue.
- Our staff set up the station, keep the fillings hot and top up the bar through service.
- Once guests have eaten, we take down the bar and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Find out what power and water are available
- Share the running order, including any speeches
