Taco bar hire in Bartley, served fresh
Mixed diets are simple at a taco bar, as fillings and toppings are kept in separate dishes. There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Popular choices include slow-cooked fillings kept hot, burrito bowls and a build-your-own taco bar, and it suits engagement parties and evening wedding receptions.
In a small place like Bartley, 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. We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Pick the spot for the taco bar in advance
- Plan the taco bar around speeches and timings
- Put allergies in writing for us
- Put guests with serious allergies in touch with us early
If the schedule slips, tell us and we’ll hold everything hot until you’re ready.

FAQs for Bartley
Could you serve our guests after a service at Bartley Village Hall?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Do you cater in villages like Bartley?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are looked at case by case. Tell us your numbers and we will plan the bar around them.
Do you do a taco bar?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
How much is a taco bar?
We quote for each taco bar, based on numbers, fillings, the venue and timings. Contact us for a quote.
How does taco bar hire work?
A serving table is laid with warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and guests build their own tacos. Our staff keep it hot and topped up.
Can the taco bar cater for special diets?
Keeping each dish separate makes mixed diets easier, but we cannot promise an allergen-free kitchen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.

How it works
Your timings come first. If things run behind, tell us and we’ll adjust the start of service where we can. A December taco bar in Bartley will be in the dark from about 4:00pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:25pm.
