Taco bar hire near Trotton
How our taco bar hire works in Trotton
With a taco bar, everything is laid out in one place: tortillas kept warm, fillings kept hot, and bowls of salsa, guacamole and toppings. Guests pick up a plate and build their own. It suits evening wedding receptions and working lunches, with fresh salsas, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and guacamole.
For a rural spot like Trotton, 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. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
Step by step
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. From late May to late September, sunset in Trotton moves from about 8:55pm to 7:05pm. Let us know if an outdoor station will run after dark, and we will talk about lighting.
- Start with the essentials: the date, venue, headcount and diets.
- We plan the fillings and toppings with you and quote for them.
- Together we fix the spot for the taco bar and a nearby place for our vehicle.
- On the day our staff lay out the bar and keep it stocked while guests build their tacos.
- Once guests have eaten, we take down the bar and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in

How we price taco bar hire
Contact us for a quote, which reflects:
- The length of service
- Guest numbers
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Parking and the route in
There is no one-size-fits-all price for taco bar hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- What you’d like on the menu
- The date and rough timings
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Plan the taco bar around speeches and timings
- Collect dietary needs with your replies
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
- Pick the spot for the taco bar in advance
Indoors or under cover, the bar carries on whatever the weather.
A wider range of salsas suits guests who like it mild and those who like it hot.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Space for a line of guests at the bar
- A spot next to the truck or trailer when both are booked
- Room nearby to park and unload our vehicle
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Popular choices
- Tortilla chips
- Two to four fillings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Vegan fillings
Questions from Trotton
Could you set up a taco bar in a hall near Trotton?
Yes, if the venue allows outside caterers. We need a short route from where we park to the room, and space for the station and a queue.
Do you cater in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
What is a build-your-own taco bar?
Each guest builds tacos from the fillings, salsas and toppings laid out. We run the bar from set-up to pack-down.
Is the food made fresh?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
How much is a taco bar?
Every taco bar is quoted for individually, depending on guests, menu, venue and timings. For a price, use our quote form.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
Is the food very hot?
It is up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
How long are you on site?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book.
Why choose taco bar hire in Trotton?
Pizza is a safe choice, but a taco bar gives guests more say over what they eat. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why book with us
- A quote that sets out what’s included
- Events in Trotton and across Hampshire
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- Quick, friendly service from the hatch

Can I do a taco night 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 be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
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.
