Taco bar hire in Blackboys
Taco bar hire in Blackboys, served fresh
Truck and trailer bookings generally suit around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are quoted case by case. Share your headcount and we’ll size the taco bar to match. On the menu are pickled onions and toppings, a build-your-own taco bar and warm corn and flour tortillas, which works well for birthday celebrations and anniversary parties.
Somewhere as small as Blackboys, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, though we still need to unload within a short walk. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

Is taco bar hire right for your event?
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen, waiting staff and fixed courses. A taco bar needs a serving spot, somewhere close to unload and the venue’s agreement, and power and water are confirmed with each booking. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can feel generous.

Blackboys: your questions answered
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Passingworth Park?
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’ll send what they need from us.
Could you set up a taco bar in a hall near Blackboys?
We can, as long as the venue agrees. The station needs room for a queue, and we need to park and unload close to the door.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will check the licensing with you.
What is a build-your-own taco bar?
Guests take a plate and fill their tortillas from the dishes on the bar. We run the bar from set-up to pack-down.
The process
When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. Daylight in Blackboys runs to about 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. Let us know if an outdoor station will run after dark, and we’ll talk about lighting.
- Share a few details about the event.
- We send a sample spread and a quote.
- Access, power and water are agreed beforehand.
- We set up the station and keep everything hot.
- Afterwards, we pack down and leave the area tidy.

What else we do in Blackboys
Working with your venue
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Diets, allergies and planning

DIY taco night or a caterer?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
