About our taco bar hire in West Thorney
Our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are quoted case by case. Share your headcount and we will size the taco bar to match. It works well for leaving and retirement parties and wedding day food, serving fresh salsas, pickled onions and toppings and burrito bowls.
Somewhere as small as West Thorney, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If the truck cannot get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, though we still need to unload within a short walk. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

Step by step
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you are ready, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. In West Thorney, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.
- The venue confirms where the bar goes and where we park.
- On the day, guests help themselves while we keep the bar stocked.
- We clear the bar away after service.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Ask the venue about power and water

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.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Taco bars for events around West Thorney
West Thorney is about 5 miles south-east of Havant, in West Sussex. For an event in West Thorney, we can park up at venues, fields, drives and courtyards in and around West Thorney. West Thorney is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex where we can bring taco bar hire. We cater right across the region, from West Thorney to Chichester (6 miles away).
When the service is at a church such as The Parish Church of St Nicholas, the taco bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. Historic houses near West Thorney include Warblington Castle (3.1 miles north-west). Estates and listed houses set their own rules for caterers, so check where a taco bar station and our vehicle would be permitted before you book. With the sea within about 4 miles, a taco bar at a coastal venue is an option. Open toppings and a sea breeze don’t mix, so a sheltered or indoor spot is best.
We cater events across the PO10 postcode area and the streets around it.

Common questions in West Thorney
How far is West Thorney from London?
It’s about 59 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you cater a reception after a service at The Parish Church of St Nicholas?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
How does taco bar hire work?
We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings on a serving table, and guests build their own tacos. We stay to keep everything hot and stocked.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.
Is a taco bar right for a wedding?
It can serve the wedding meal, the evening or both. We agree the timings with your venue.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
How it compares
Sandwich platters are convenient but forgettable. Warm tortillas and hot fillings give a lunch more to talk about. 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.

- Guest numbers
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
