FAQs for Portsmouth
How far is Portsmouth from London?
Roughly 64 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.
We’re having a ceremony at St Wilfrid: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself is not 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.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will talk it through.
Is the food made fresh?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
How much does taco bar hire cost in Portsmouth?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we will reply with a quote.
Is a taco bar suitable for a big group?
Our service typically 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.
How much is a taco bar?
Every taco bar is quoted for individually, depending on guests, menu, venue and timings. Contact us for a quote.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.

A closer look at the menu
Salsas
Salsa lets everyone pick their own heat.
Hot fillings
You might choose two or three fillings, including a vegan one. You choose them with us.
Is taco bar hire right for your event?
A sandwich platter is easy to order but rarely remembered. Warm tortillas and hot fillings give a lunch more to talk about. There is no one-size-fits-all price for taco bar hire. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.

Portsmouth: venues, access and set-up
Portsmouth is in England. Events in Portsmouth are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and friendly service on the day. We serve in 19 places in Portsmouth, from the larger towns to small villages.
If you are celebrating after a service at a church like St Wilfrid, a hall close by could host a staffed taco bar, with the venue’s permission. No room for the truck at home? A hall or club near Portsmouth with parking close by could host the taco bar. With the sea within about 3 miles, a taco bar at a coastal venue is an option. Open toppings and a sea breeze do not mix, so a sheltered or indoor spot is best.
We cater events across PO6, PO4, PO1 and PO2. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Church Road, April Square and Rudmore Square. With the A3 and A27 close by, Portsmouth is easy for us to reach for your event. Other places close to Portsmouth for taco bar hire include Rudmore (1 mile north-west), Landport (1 mile south-west), North End (1 mile north), Fratton (1 mile south-east) and Kingston (1 mile south-east). Further out, we also cater in Wymering (3 miles north), Paulsgrove (3 miles north), Drayton (3 miles north-east) and Farlington (3 miles north-east).
Other landmarks nearby include Tricorn Centre (0.7 miles south-west) and Royal Portsmouth Hospital (0.7 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Milton Locks and Portsdown Hill.

- Nearby, you will find The Druids Arms (under half a mile north-east)
- Other local spots include Southsea (1.9 miles south)
Before you choose a spot
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A spot next to the truck or trailer when both are booked
- A sheltered spot if we are serving outside
- A clear area in front of the station
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Menu ideas
- Salsas and guacamole
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Tortilla chips
- Vegan fillings
- Two to four fillings
- Pickled onions and toppings
Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Occasions we cater for in Portsmouth

What else we do in Portsmouth
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Organising a club, school or community event in Portsmouth? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
What happens on the day
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, 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 Portsmouth until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is generally served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Start with your date, venue and guest numbers.
- Together we choose what goes on the bar.
- We confirm the table spot and where we’ll unload.
- Our staff set out the bar and guests build their own tacos.
- We clear the bar away after service.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Find out what power and water are available
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
