Taco bar hire in Rake, served fresh
Add burrito bowls, loaded nachos or quesadillas if you’d like more choice. Margaritas and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can be added, with licensing checked with you. We serve warm corn and flour tortillas, pickled onions and toppings and a build-your-own taco bar, which works well for working lunches and retirement parties.
Somewhere as small as Rake, 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. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Working with your venue
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Organising a club, school or community event in Rake? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.
A build-your-own taco bar in Rake
Rake is about 4 miles north-east of Petersfield, in Hampshire. For taco bar hire in Rake, we can serve in gardens, fields, venues, car parks and courtyards with access in and around Rake. Rake is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire where we can bring taco bar hire. Our nearest city page is Chichester, about 15 miles away.
By rail: the nearest station is Liss station, about 1.6 miles west. The South Downs National Park is within about 5 miles of Rake, with barns and country venues that could host a taco bar. Where vehicles cannot reach the room, the station can be set up there with the venue’s agreement, but we still need to unload close by.
We cover events in every part of the GU33 postcode area. From London Road, Brewells Lane and St Patrick's Lane or anywhere nearby, we’ll plan where to park and serve. Neighbouring places where we cater events include The Mint (1 mile north-west), Hill Brow (1 mile south-west), Liss (1 mile west), Liss Forest (1 mile north-west) and West Liss (2 miles west). Further out, we also cater in Havant (14 miles south-west), Horndean (12 miles south-west), Aldershot (15 miles north), Alton (9 miles north-west), Waterlooville (14 miles south-west) and Petersfield (4 miles south-west).
Nearby you’ll also find Chase Community Hospital (4.2 miles north). Green spaces nearby include Liss Riverside Railway Walk North and Wheeler's Down.
- Local pubs include The Sun Inn (under half a mile south)
Planning the serving area
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- The venue’s agreement for the taco bar and our vehicle
- A sheltered spot if we are serving outside
- A parking or loading spot near the serving area
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
On the menu in Rake
- Vegan fillings
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Two to four fillings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Tortilla chips
- Corn and flour tortillas
How the day works
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a photo of the space if you’re unsure. Winter evenings in Rake close in by about 4:00pm, so set the station up where the lighting is good. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Start with the essentials: the date, venue, headcount and diets.
- We suggest fillings, salsas and toppings for the bar and send a quote.
- We agree where the table goes and where our vehicle can unload.
- On the day our staff lay out the bar and keep it stocked while guests build their tacos.
- After the last tacos, we clear the station away.
How to prepare

Planning help
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Catering for every guest
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Plan the taco bar around speeches and timings
- Collect dietary needs with your replies
- Count children separately
- Confirm any allergies to us by email
After the last plate, we take the bar down and leave the spot tidy.
Nachos to share can keep guests going before the bar opens.

Fresh salsas, from a mild tomato salsa to something hotter, made for your event.

Comparing your options
The difference between a taco bar and truck service is who builds the taco. From the truck, we put each order together; at the taco bar, guests do the building. Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Your quote confirms the full price.

How far is Rake from central London?

It is up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Who looks after the taco bar?
The taco bar is served from a table or station by our staff, so your hosts do not need to. We pack it away afterwards.

Is a taco bar suitable for a big group?
That depends on your timings and the event. As a guide, our bookings normally fall around 50 to 400 guests.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
Perfect for your event in Rake
Guests choose exactly what goes on their plate, which cuts down on special orders.
Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Typical bookings include:
- Summer garden parties

When the service is at a church such as Rake Mission Church, the taco bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church.
