Taco bar hire for your event in Balls Cross
Fillings are agreed with you, perhaps carnitas, chicken tinga or birria, with a vegan filling like black bean and sweet potato or spiced mushroom. We serve slow-cooked fillings kept hot, a build-your-own taco bar and fresh salsas, which works well for wedding meals and engagement and anniversary parties.
Near Balls Cross, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer.

Taco bar hire or something else?
A taco bar and a truck serve the same food in different ways. From the truck, we put each order together; at the taco bar, guests do the building. There’s 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.

Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Room nearby to park and unload our vehicle
- Space for a line of guests at the bar
- A spot next to the truck or trailer when both are booked
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Menu ideas
- Two to four fillings
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Tortilla chips
- Salsas and guacamole
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Vegan fillings
Catering for every guest
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
- Choose at least one vegan filling
- Ask the venue where we can park to unload
- Set out seating near the bar
We arrive with time to unload and set the bar up before guests eat.
Ask us about plates, napkins and cutlery and we’ll set out the options in your quote.
Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Serving staff
- The length of service
- Whether you need disposables
- What’s on the menu
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 we need to know
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- The date and time of the event
- What you’d like on the menu
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
Can I do a taco night myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.

The process
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your event. In Balls Cross, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Tell us about your event and your guests.
- You get a suggested taco-bar menu and a quote.
- We check power, water and access with your venue.
- We arrive, unload and lay out warm tortillas, fillings and toppings.
- At the end, we take everything away.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
