Taco bar hire for Winchester events
Winchester: your questions answered
Could you serve in St. Cross Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Which station is closest to Winchester?
Winchester station, about 0.6 miles north of the centre.
Do you come to Winchester?
Yes, we do. We serve at events in Winchester and across Hampshire. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a photo and we’ll talk it through.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
What should the venue provide?
Room for the table and a queue, plus a nearby place to unload. We confirm power and water when you book.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Taco bar hire in Winchester, from our food truck or trailer
Toppings make the bar: lime wedges, coriander, pickled onions, cheese and crema. It works well for anniversary parties and family get-togethers, serving warm corn and flour tortillas, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and guacamole.
There is a wide choice of venues in Winchester, and a build-your-own taco bar can stand beside the truck or on its own. We need a level spot for the station and room for guests to queue. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Where the truck can go in Winchester
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- A sheltered spot if we’re serving outside
- Easy access from where we unload to the table
- A spot next to the truck or trailer when both are booked
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we offer
- Tortilla chips
- Salsas and guacamole
- Two to four fillings
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Vegan fillings
Planning for every diet
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Let us know about anyone who is coeliac
- Collect dietary needs with your replies
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Decide where the table goes before the day
Indoors or under cover, the bar carries on whatever the weather, so plan somewhere sheltered if you can.
Add burrito bowls for guests who’d rather skip tortillas.
Step by step
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. Daylight in Winchester runs to about 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. Let us know if an outdoor station will run after dark, and we’ll talk about lighting.
- Begin with the date and headcount.
- We agree a menu that covers every diet.
- We fix timings with you and the venue.
- Service starts when your running order says.
- We clear our station when service ends.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park

What else we do in Winchester
Should I do it 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 enjoy the party, let us serve.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Comparing your options
Sandwich platters are convenient but forgettable. Warm tortillas and hot fillings give a lunch more to talk about. Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
What you get with us
- Fast service, even with a queue
- Book food, drinks or both
- Options for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests
