Taco bar hire in Brook
Working with your venue
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Taco bar hire in Brook, served fresh
For a bigger spread, burrito bowls, nachos or quesadillas can sit alongside the tacos. Margaritas and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can be added. At milestone birthdays and wedding day food, we can serve fresh salsas, guacamole and warm corn and flour tortillas.
For a rural spot like Brook, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.
What taco bar hire costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How long we’re needed on site
- What’s on the menu
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Expected numbers
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
Send us the date, your venue or SO43 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and you will get menu ideas and a price. To get started, use our quote form.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

How it compares
The difference between a taco bar and truck service is who builds the taco. At the hatch, we make each order; at the taco bar, guests do the building. Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

The process
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. In Brook, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Start with the essentials: the date, venue, headcount and diets.
- 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.
- Once guests have eaten, we take down the bar and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Tell us when you want service to start
