Taco bar hire in Portsmouth Point, from our truck or trailer
Our taco bar travels to events across Portsmouth Point and the surrounding area: marquees, barns, gardens, halls and workplaces. Popular choices include slow-cooked fillings kept hot, a build-your-own taco bar and pickled onions and toppings, and it is a good fit for family get-togethers and summer garden parties.

When do you arrive?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.

That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we will park.

Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.

Can I do a taco night myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
