About our taco bar hire in Popley
We bring taco bars to events in and around Popley: from barns and marquees to gardens, halls and offices, wherever there is room for the table. It works well for marquee parties and wedding evening food, with fresh salsas, burrito bowls and guacamole.
In and around Popley, a taco bar works beside the truck or in a hall nearby. If the truck cannot reach the garden, we park as close as we can and set the station up where your guests are. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.
About the menu
Warm tortillas
Soft corn and flour tortillas, kept warm. The corn ones suit gluten-free guests.
Vegan fillings
Vegan guests get a proper filling of their own, not an afterthought.
Popley: venues, access and set-up
Popley is about 2 miles north-east of Basingstoke, in Hampshire. Anywhere in RG24, we can serve your guests. We serve in 683 places across Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages.
Thinking of a taco bar in Eastrop Park? Catering in a public park typically needs the landowner’s permission, so check first. Around Popley, historic houses include The Vyne (1.6 miles north). If your event is at a historic house or estate, ask early whether a staffed taco bar is allowed and where we could unload.
Taco bar hire in RG24 and RG21 is planned around your venue and access. Whether your event is on Wix Road, Abbey Road and Miles Road or a nearby road, we’ll plan where to park and serve.

The process
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a picture of the space if you are unsure. From late May to late September, sunset in Popley moves from about 8:55pm to 7:10pm. Let us know if an outdoor station will run after dark, and we’ll talk about lighting.
- Start with the essentials: the date, venue, headcount and 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.
- We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and guests help themselves.
- When service finishes, we clear the table and pack the vehicle.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers

Your questions about taco bar hire in Popley
Is Popley close to London?
It’s about 45 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
We are having a ceremony at St Gabriel's Church: can you cater afterwards?
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’ll check the access.
What does taco bar hire cost?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually need. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a quote.
Do you give allergen information?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we can’t promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
How spicy is the food?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
How many guests can a taco bar serve?
Our service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are looked at case by case. Tell us your numbers and we will plan the bar around them.

- Give us separate numbers for children

- Include a vegan filling on the bar
Once guests have eaten, we clear the table and pack up.
Our drinks bar can sit alongside the taco bar with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you.
How it compares
Plated meals depend on a kitchen and a team of waiting staff. A taco bar needs a serving spot, somewhere close to unload and the venue’s agreement, with power and water confirmed when you book.
