Taco bar hire in Southington, from our food truck or trailer
Our taco bar travels to events across Southington and the surrounding area: marquees, barns, gardens, halls and workplaces, wherever there is room for the table. At wedding breakfasts and anniversary parties, we can serve burrito bowls, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and guacamole for your guests.
For a rural spot like Southington, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we’ll confirm power and water with you. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
What affects the price in Southington
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- The length of service
- Parking and the route in
- Serving staff
What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- Where the event is
- The date and rough timings
- What power and water the site has

FAQs for Southington
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
Yes, with the venue’s permission. Tell us about the parking, the doors and the space for the station.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
It depends on the event and the timings. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests.
What access do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
Do you do parties at home?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a picture and we’ll talk it through.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
Planners, venues and businesses
Organising a club, school or community event in Southington? A truck or trailer serves a crowd quickly, with options for most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
