Taco bar hire for your event in Southampton
Toppings make the bar: pickled onions, coriander, lime, shredded lettuce and cheese, agreed with you in advance. On the menu are guacamole, fresh salsas and warm corn and flour tortillas, and it is a good fit for retirement parties and working lunches.
Guests at events in Southampton can build their own tacos at the bar: they choose the fillings, salsas and toppings while our staff run the station. Let us know about the venue and where we can park. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.

Taco bar hire or something else?
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen, waiting staff and fixed courses. A taco bar needs a serving spot, somewhere close to unload and the venue’s agreement, and power and water are confirmed with each booking. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
Why book with us
- Quick, friendly service from the hatch
- A truck or trailer that comes to you
- Book food, drinks or both

Southampton: your questions answered
We’re having a ceremony at Saint Mary's: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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’ll check the access.
What’s the nearest station to Southampton for guests?
Southampton has its own station: St Denys station.
Can we have a taco bar at our wedding?
A taco bar makes a relaxed, sociable wedding meal. Service is timed around speeches and photos. There is more in our taco bar guide.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
Can you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll recommend how to serve.
How much does taco bar hire cost?
Every taco bar is quoted for individually, based on numbers, fillings, the venue and timings. For a price, send a quick message through our quote form.
The process
Here’s how the day typically runs: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. Winter evenings in Southampton close in by about 4:00pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Tell us about your event and your guests.
- You get a suggested taco-bar menu and a quote.
- We check power, water and access with your venue.
- We set up the station and keep everything hot.
- Afterwards, we pack down and leave the area tidy.
How to prepare
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
How to get a price

Southampton: venues, access and set-up
Southampton is in England. For taco bar hire in Southampton, we can park up at venues, fields, drives and courtyards in and around Southampton. We cover all 40 towns and villages across Southampton, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.
Around Southampton, historic houses include Southampton Tudor House and Garden (1.4 miles south) and Medieval Merchant's House (1.5 miles south). 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. If you’re celebrating after a service at a church like Saint Mary's, a hall close by could host a staffed taco bar, with the venue’s permission. The New Forest National Park is within about 8 miles of Southampton, 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. With the sea within about 2 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.
Taco bar hire in SO19, SO16, SO15 and SO18 is planned around your venue and access. We can cater an event on streets such as London Road, Marshall Square and Grosvenor Square or the roads around them. You will find Southampton on the A27 and A33, which makes it straightforward to bring the truck or trailer. For events just outside Southampton, we cover Inner Avenue (1 mile west), St Denys (1 mile north-east), Bitterne Manor (1 mile east), Portswood (1 mile north) and Northam (1 mile south-east). Larger places within reach include Maybush (3 miles west), Eling (4 miles west), Rownhams (3 miles north-west), Hounsdown (5 miles west), Nursling (4 miles north-west) and Hillyfields (3 miles west).
Other landmarks nearby include Marlands Shopping Centre (1 mile south-west) and R J Mitchell Museum (0.9 miles south-west). Not far away are Netley Common.
