Taco bar hire in Whiteley, served fresh
You choose the fillings with us, perhaps carnitas, chicken tinga or birria, plus a vegan choice such as spiced mushroom or black bean and sweet potato. On the menu are warm corn and flour tortillas, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and fresh salsas, which works well for team lunches and evening receptions.
In and around Whiteley, a taco bar works beside the truck or in a hall nearby. If the truck cannot reach the garden, we park as close as we can and set the station up where your guests are. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
About the menu
Warm tortillas
Every taco starts with a warm tortilla. We warm them as the bar needs them through service.

How far is Whiteley from London?

How does a taco bar work?

Do you take everything away?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll check the licensing with you.
Taco bar hire in Whiteley: local tips
Whiteley is about 3 miles south-east of Hedge End, in Hampshire. From the centre of Whiteley to the outskirts, taco bar hire works the same way: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. We cater in all 683 towns and villages in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 6 miles away.
By rail: the nearest station is Swanwick station, about 0.8 miles south-west. With the sea within about 3 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.

What else we do in Whiteley
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 will do the serving.
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Step by step
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. In Whiteley, the sun sets at about 9:20pm 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’s dark by about 4:00pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- Together we choose what goes on the bar.
- The venue confirms where the bar goes and where we park.
- Our staff set out the bar and guests build their own tacos.
- We clear the bar away after service.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
Getting a price
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Decide where the table goes before the day
- Count children separately
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
- Confirm any allergies to us by email
Each dish is labelled, and allergen information is kept at the bar.
Loaded nachos make a good starter while the bar is set up.
Space, access and the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- Details of power and water near the bar
- Space for a serving table on level ground
- Space beside the truck or trailer if you’re booking both
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Popular choices
- Two to four fillings
- Tortilla chips
- Vegan fillings
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Salsas and guacamole
- Pickled onions and toppings
