Taco bar hire in Southwood, from our food truck or trailer
We can serve the taco bar next to the truck or trailer, or as a separate station. Where a vehicle can’t reach the serving spot, we unload nearby and set the table up there, as long as the venue agrees. It works well for marquee parties and team socials, serving burrito bowls, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and guacamole.
In and around Southwood, a taco bar works beside the truck or in a hall nearby. Where access is tight, the truck stays nearby and the station goes where your guests are, as long as we can unload within a short walk. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
About the menu
Guacamole
Guacamole made fresh, with lime and coriander.

Planning a taco bar in Southwood
Southwood is about 1 mile west of Farnborough, in Hampshire. Whether your event is in the middle of Southwood or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh service from our truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. Southwood is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire where we can bring taco bar hire. You can also see our page for Guildford, about 10 miles away.
Parks such as Ancells Farm Park generally need the owner’s agreement for catering, even without a truck on the grass, so ask before you plan. If people are travelling in by rail, Fleet station is about 1.5 miles away.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
How the day works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A photo of the space helps. Around midsummer it stays light in Southwood until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Send us your date, where the taco bar will go, numbers and dietary needs.
- We suggest fillings, salsas and toppings for the bar and send a quote.
- We agree where the table goes and where our vehicle can unload.
- Our staff set up the station, keep the fillings hot and top up the bar through service.
- After the last tacos, we clear the station away.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Find out what power and water are available

Southwood: your questions answered
Could you serve in Ancells Farm Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Which station is closest to Southwood?
Fleet station, about 1.5 miles west of the centre.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
That is confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we’ll talk it through.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
Is a taco bar good for vegans and gluten-free guests?
We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Hampshire included. See all areas.
Planning the serving area
We’ll be honest if a space won’t work, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- A sheltered spot if we are serving outside
- Somewhere close by for our vehicle to park and unload
- 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.
