How our taco bar hire works in South Ham
Our truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Share your headcount and we will size the taco bar to match. For evening receptions and retirement parties, we can serve warm corn and flour tortillas, guacamole and a build-your-own taco bar for your guests.
Near South Ham, a hall or club may suit a taco bar if your own space is tight; we need the venue’s permission, a level spot and somewhere to unload. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

How the day works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. In South Ham, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is typically served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Send us the date, venue and 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.
Before we arrive
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
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.

South Ham questions

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 soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.

We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
