Taco bar hire in Southrope
How it works
When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. In Southrope, 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 generally served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Share a few details about the event.
- You get a suggested taco-bar menu and a quote.
- Access, power and water are agreed beforehand.
- We arrive, unload and lay out warm tortillas, fillings and toppings.
- Afterwards, we pack down and leave the area tidy.
Getting ready for the day

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Include a dietary question on your invitations
- Agree the serving spot with your venue early
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
- Confirm any allergies to us by email
We arrive with time to unload and set the bar up before guests eat.
Loaded nachos make a good starter while the bar is set up.
How it compares
A sandwich platter is easy to order but rarely remembered. Warm tortillas and hot fillings give a lunch more to talk about. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
What we offer in Southrope
- A truck or trailer that comes to you
- A menu built around your guests
- Access, space and power checked in advance
- A clear quote
Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Questions from Southrope
Which station should guests use for Southrope?
Guests can use Alton station, about 4.5 miles south-east of Southrope.
Will you travel to a small place like Southrope?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
What if a vehicle cannot reach the serving spot?
The bar can stand on its own, away from the truck or trailer. We still need to park our vehicle nearby to unload, and the venue’s agreement.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
How long do you serve for?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
Can you serve in the rain?
Rain doesn’t normally stop service from the truck or trailer. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
Planning the serving area
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- A flat spot for the taco-bar station
- Shelter from rain and sun for an outdoor bar
- Permission from the venue for us to set up
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Popular choices
- Two to four fillings
- Tortilla chips
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Vegan fillings
- Salsas and guacamole
