If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Taco bar hire in Baker's Cross, from our food truck or trailer
Toppings make the bar: pickled onions, coriander, lime, shredded lettuce and cheese, agreed with you in advance. It suits back-garden gatherings and birthday parties, serving guacamole, fresh salsas and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
In a small place like Baker's Cross, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If the truck cannot get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, with allergen information for everything we serve.
Who books taco bar hire in Baker's Cross?
The bar becomes a meeting point: guests compare fillings and swap topping ideas as they go.
Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Common bookings include:
- Staff parties
- Family celebrations
- Marquee parties
- Retirement parties
When the service is at a church such as Church of St Dunstan, the taco bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church.

Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Plan the taco bar around speeches and timings
- Ensure guests have somewhere to sit
- Decide where the table goes before the day
- Send us allergy details in writing
After the last plate, we take the bar down.
For larger groups, ask about a second serving point, quoted for your event.

What taco bar hire costs
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of people
- Timings and hours
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Your choice of food and drinks
Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Your menu ideas
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
Is taco bar hire right for your event?

What we offer in Baker's Cross
- Tacos, burritos and a drinks bar
- A menu built around your guests
- Menus for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests
- Allergen information for every dish

DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.

Baker's Cross: your questions answered
Could you set up a taco bar in a hall near Baker's Cross?
Yes, if the venue allows outside caterers. Tell us about the parking, the doors and the space for the station.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
How does a taco bar work?
We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings on a serving table, and guests build their own tacos. We stay to keep everything hot and stocked.
Is the food suitable for children?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
How big an event can you cater?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms, served alongside the meat options.
