About our taco bar hire in Ambrosden
We can serve the taco bar next to the truck or trailer, or as a separate station. If the truck can’t get to the spot, we park close by, unload and carry the bar in, with the venue’s agreement. At marquee parties and leaving dos, we can serve burrito bowls, pickled onions and toppings and slow-cooked fillings kept hot and more.
A place like Ambrosden may have a hall or a club nearby if your garden is small; we need the venue’s permission, a level spot and somewhere to unload. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Planning help
What we need at the venue
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Space for a serving table on level ground
- Permission from the venue for us to set up
- Room nearby to park and unload our vehicle
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.
Menu ideas
- Salsas and guacamole
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Tortilla chips
- Two to four fillings
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Vegan fillings
Planning for every diet
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Include a dietary question on your invitations
- Confirm any allergies to us by email
- Check where our vehicle can unload
- Give us separate numbers for children
Staff stay at the taco bar to refill bowls and answer questions about fillings and allergens.
Burrito bowls sit well on the bar for anyone avoiding tortillas.
How it compares
Next to a hog roast or carvery, a taco bar handles vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests without separate plates. Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you choose what goes in.
