Planning a taco bar in Purbrook
Purbrook is about 2 miles west of Havant, in Hampshire. We serve at events in gardens, halls and venues around Purbrook. Purbrook is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire we cover.
Nearby historic houses include Warblington Castle (3.3 miles south-east). Estates and listed houses set their own rules for caterers, so check where a taco bar station and our vehicle would be permitted before booking. Guests leaving a church like Church of St John could head to a nearby hall or garden where the taco bar is ready.
Wherever your event is in PO7 and PO6, we can bring taco bar hire to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Streets in the area include London Road, Bliss Close and Delius Walk, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. Close by, we cover events in Purbrook Heath (1 mile west), Widley (1 mile south-west), Waterlooville (1 mile north), Farlington (2 miles south) and Bedhampton (2 miles south-east). We also cater in nearby towns such as Gosport (7 miles south-west), Eastleigh (15 miles north-west), Fareham (7 miles west), Horndean (3 miles north), Hedge End (12 miles west) and Petersfield (10 miles north-east).

About our taco bar hire in Purbrook
Taco bars suit wedding breakfasts, parties and office lunches alike. Guests build their plates quickly, so a crowd moves through steadily. It works well for team socials and barn and marquee parties, serving fresh salsas, guacamole and pickled onions and toppings.
In Purbrook, a taco bar can be set up inside a hall or club, with the venue’s agreement. The station needs space, a route in from the parking area and room to queue. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

The process
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. Guests come up to order when service opens. Around midsummer it stays light in Purbrook until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Start with your date, venue and guest numbers.
- We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
How we price taco bar hire
Pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- What’s on the menu
- Travel, parking and access
- Timings and hours
- Whether you need disposables
Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Where the event is
- Your menu ideas
- The date and time of the event

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Questions from Purbrook
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St John?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
How far is Purbrook from central London?
It is about 60 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll recommend how to serve.
Can you set up where a truck cannot get in?
The taco bar can sit next to the truck or trailer, or in a spot of its own. Either way, we need to unload nearby and have the venue’s permission.
Do you need power and water?
Tell us what the site has, for example a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
