About our taco bar hire in Southover
Fillings are agreed with you, perhaps carnitas, chicken tinga or birria, plus a vegan choice such as spiced mushroom or black bean and sweet potato. We serve guacamole, a build-your-own taco bar and slow-cooked fillings kept hot, and it suits birthday parties and marquee parties.
In and around Southover, a taco bar works beside the truck or in a hall nearby. If the truck can’t reach the garden, we park as close as we can and set the station up where your guests are, as long as we can unload within a short walk. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Should I do it myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. 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 tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Catering for every guest
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Let us know about anyone who is coeliac
- Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
- Agree the serving spot with your venue early
- Ensure guests have somewhere to sit
We arrive with time to unload and set the bar up before guests eat.
Tell us if you need plates and cutlery and we will confirm what’s possible in your quote.
