Taco bar hire in Bevendean, served fresh
Toppings make the bar: pickled onions, coriander, lime, shredded lettuce and cheese. On the menu are fresh salsas, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and guacamole, and it suits company parties and family celebrations.
In a smaller place like Bevendean, a taco bar in your garden or a local hall keeps things simple. We set up and run the station, and guests choose their own fillings and toppings. Tell us where we can park and unload. We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.

About taco bar hire
Planning for every diet
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Check where our vehicle can unload
- Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
- Make sure one filling is vegan
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first
Indoors or under cover, the bar carries on whatever the weather.
Add burrito bowls for guests who’d rather skip tortillas.
Before you choose a spot
Every venue is different, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Details of power and water near the bar
- A spot next to the truck or trailer when both are booked
- A clear route from the vehicle to the serving spot
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Popular choices
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Tortilla chips
- Two to four fillings
- Vegan fillings
Is taco bar hire right for your event?
A standard buffet often sits out cold. Our fillings stay hot and the bowls are topped up as guests come back. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Your quote confirms the full price.
Why us?
- Service planned around your numbers
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- Menus for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests
- A plan agreed before the day

What affects the price in Bevendean
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- What’s on the menu
- Parking and the route in
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- How many staff you need
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
What we need to know
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- What power and water the site has
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The venue or postcode
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.
Bevendean: your questions answered
Do you cater at coastal events near Bevendean?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades generally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Whitehawk Hill?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Send us a photo of the access and the space, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Is a taco bar suitable for a big group?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are looked at case by case. Tell us your numbers and we’ll plan the bar around them.
How many guests can you serve?
Our truck and trailer service typically suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
How long are you on site?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book.
Is a taco bar good for vegans and gluten-free guests?
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.
