Taco bar hire in Boyden Gate, from our truck or trailer
Our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Share your headcount and we will size the taco bar to match. We serve slow-cooked fillings kept hot, warm corn and flour tortillas and guacamole, and it’s a good fit for back-garden gatherings and barn parties.
Near Boyden Gate, 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’ll confirm power and water with you. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

- The length of service

DIY taco night or a caterer?

The process
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. When service ends, we pack down. Winter evenings in Boyden Gate close in by about 3:50pm, so set the station up where the lighting is good. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:15pm.
- Send us your date, where the taco bar will go, numbers and dietary needs.
- We plan the fillings and toppings with you and quote for them.
- Together we fix the spot for the taco bar and a nearby place for our vehicle.
- On the day our staff lay out the bar and keep it stocked while guests build their tacos.
- After the last tacos, we clear the station away.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site

FAQs for Boyden Gate
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you set up taco bars indoors in places like Boyden Gate?
Yes, with the venue’s permission. Tell us about the parking, the doors and the space for the station.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
What happens if it rains?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
What do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
How long do you serve for?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
Who clears up?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
