Taco bar hire in Afton
Afton questions
Do you cater at coastal events near Afton?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Seafront and beach spots generally need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
We are having a ceremony at St. Agnes' Church: can you cater afterwards?
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’ll check the access.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
What happens if it rains?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
How much does taco bar hire cost?
There’s no price list, because no two events are the same. Send us your details and we’ll quote for your event. See what Mexican catering costs for background.
Can you set up where a truck cannot get in?
It can go beside the truck or trailer, or somewhere a vehicle cannot reach. We need a nearby place to unload, plus the venue’s agreement.
How much does taco bar hire cost in Afton?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
How our taco bar hire works in Afton
Our taco bar travels to events across Afton and the surrounding area: marquees, barns, gardens, halls and workplaces. At christenings and family parties and summer garden parties, we can serve warm corn and flour tortillas, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and burrito bowls.
In a small place like Afton, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
- Choose at least one vegan filling
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
Staff stay at the taco bar to refill bowls and answer questions.
Burrito bowls sit well on the bar for anyone avoiding tortillas.

How it works
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. Winter evenings in Afton close in by about 4:05pm, so set the station up where the lighting is good. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Start with the essentials: the date, venue, headcount and diets.
- We suggest fillings, salsas and toppings for the bar and send a quote.
- We agree where the table goes and where our vehicle can unload.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
Getting a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, tell us about it on our contact page.
