DIY taco night or a caterer?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.
Comparing your options
A standard buffet often sits out cold. We keep the fillings hot and refill the dishes through service. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

Taco bar hire in Rudmore: local tips
Rudmore is about 1 mile north-west of Portsmouth, in Portsmouth. Whether your event is in the middle of Rudmore or on the outskirts, taco bar hire works the same way: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. Rudmore is one of 19 towns and villages in Portsmouth where we can bring taco bar hire.
By road, Rudmore is on or near the M275 and A2047, so bringing the taco bar and our food truck or trailer is straightforward. No room for the truck at home? A hall or club near Rudmore 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.
Wherever your event is in PO2 and PO1, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Whether your event is on Knox Road, Wharf Road and Croft Road or a nearby road, we can bring taco bar hire there, given access. With the M275 and A2047 close by, Rudmore is simple for us to get to. For events just outside Rudmore, we cover North End (1 mile north-east), Tipner (1 mile north-west), Portsmouth (1 mile south-east), Landport (1 mile south) and Copnor (1 mile east).
A little further out are Portchester Castle (2.1 miles north-west) and Southsea (2.2 miles south). Open spaces near Rudmore include Milton Locks and Portsdown Hill.
- Nearby schools include Mayfield School (0.7 miles north-east) and St Edmund's Catholic School (1 mile south)
- Local pubs include The Admiral Drake pub (within half a mile south-west)

Dietary needs and planning tips
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Agree the serving spot with your venue early
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first
- Include a vegan filling on the bar
- Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
A covered spot keeps the bar and guests dry if it rains.
Nachos to share can keep guests going before the bar opens.
