Taco bar hire for Alton events
Comparing your options
Buffet trays can go cold and tired. Our fillings stay hot and the bowls are topped up as guests come back. 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. Your quote sets it all out.

Taco bar hire in Alton, served fresh
Fillings are agreed with you, such as pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, with a vegan filling like black bean and sweet potato or spiced mushroom. On the menu are a build-your-own taco bar, pickled onions and toppings and warm corn and flour tortillas, and it’s a good fit for marquee parties and company parties.
A hall or club in Alton can host a taco bar indoors, if the venue allows it. We need space for the station, a way in from where we park and room for a queue. We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.

What taco bar hire costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Staff for serving and the bar
- How long we are needed on site
- Food, drinks or both
- Your choice of food and drinks
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.

Alton questions
Is Alton close to London?
About 45 miles from central London, and well within our area.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Lawrence: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Do you do parties at home?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a photo and we will talk it through.
How much does taco bar hire cost?
There is no price list, because no two events are the same. Send us your details and we will quote for your event. See what Mexican catering costs for background.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
What access do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Planning for every diet
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Put allergies in writing for us
- Include a dietary question on your invitations
- Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
- Agree the serving spot with your venue early
After the last plate, we take the bar down.
Ask us about plates, napkins and cutlery and we’ll set out the options in your quote.
The process
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. A December taco bar in Alton will be in the dark from about 4:00pm, so set the station up where the lighting is good. In late June, the light holds until around 9:25pm.
- Tell us the date, the venue, how many guests and any diets.
- You get a suggested taco-bar spread and a quote.
- Before the day, we confirm the serving spot, unloading, power and water with the venue.
- Our staff set up the station, keep the fillings hot and top up the bar through service.
- After the last tacos, we clear the station away.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Let us know the timings for the day
Ask for a quote
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
