Taco bar hire for your event in Butcher's Cross
Taco bars suit wedding breakfasts, parties and office lunches alike. Guests build their plates quickly, so a crowd moves through steadily, and nobody waits long. At leaving dos and engagement parties, we’ll put together a menu of a build-your-own taco bar, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and fresh salsas and more.
Somewhere as small as Butcher's Cross, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. 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 turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

How it compares
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen, waiting staff and fixed courses. For a taco bar, we need a serving spot, a nearby place to unload and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can feel generous.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.

The menu, item by item
Toppings
The toppings are where guests make each taco their own, and dairy-free choices are kept apart.
Hot fillings
A few fillings give guests plenty of choice, including a vegan one. You choose them with us.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Make sure one filling is vegan
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
- Include a dietary question on your invitations
- Confirm any allergies to us by email
We get there early enough to unload, lay out the table and heat everything through.
Our truck or trailer can serve later in the day, after the taco bar.
How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and serve without fuss. A December taco bar in Butcher's Cross will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so set the station up where the lighting is good. In late June, the light holds until around 9:15pm.
