How our taco bar hire works in Test Valley
We run the taco bar ourselves: keeping the fillings hot, warming tortillas and topping up the bowls. Your hosts can stay with their guests. It works well for marquee parties and office lunches, serving slow-cooked fillings kept hot, a build-your-own taco bar and warm corn and flour tortillas.
In a small place like Test Valley, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If the truck cannot get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.
Space, access and the venue
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but there are a few things to check:
- A short, clear path for carrying the bar in
- Room for the bar alongside the vehicle, if booked together
- Room for guests to queue along the table
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
Popular choices
- Tortilla chips
- Vegan fillings
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Two to four fillings
- Corn and flour tortillas
Your questions about taco bar hire in Test Valley
We are having a ceremony at Church of St James: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Could you set up a taco bar in a hall near Test Valley?
We can, as long as the venue agrees. The station needs room for a queue, and we need to park and unload close to the door.
Is a taco bar right for a wedding?
It can serve the wedding meal, the evening or both. Timings are agreed with you and your venue, and guests build their own plates.
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.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll suggest the best set-up.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Is the food very hot?
That is your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
Comparing your options
A standard buffet often sits out cold. Our fillings stay hot and the bowls are topped up as guests come back. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
