Taco bar hire for your event in Butlocks Heath
Mixed diets are simple at a taco bar, as fillings and toppings are kept in separate dishes. We plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, plus allergen information for every dish. At office lunches and company parties, we can serve guacamole, fresh salsas and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
Near Butlocks Heath, 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 confirm power and water arrangements before the day. You will know what’s included before you book: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
Dietary needs and planning tips
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Collect dietary needs with your replies
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Include a vegan filling on the bar
We warm tortillas in batches and keep the fillings hot, so the bar stays fresh from the first plate to the last.
Ask us about plates, napkins and cutlery and we’ll set out the options in your quote.
Taco bar hire or something else?
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. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Allergen-aware menus
- Book food, drinks or both
- Set-up planned with you and your venue
- A quote that sets out what’s included

Your questions about taco bar hire in Butlocks Heath
Is Butlocks Heath close to London?
About 69 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
Yes, if the venue allows outside caterers. We need a short route from where we park to the room, and space for the station and a queue.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will check the licensing with you.
What does a taco bar cost?
There is no price list, because no two events are the same. Share your plans and you’ll get a quote. Our guide to Mexican catering costs may help.
How does taco bar hire work?
A serving table is laid with warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and guests build their own tacos. We stay to keep everything hot and stocked.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
Is a taco bar right for a wedding?
It can serve the wedding meal, the evening or both. Timings are agreed with you and your venue.
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. Around midsummer it stays light in Butlocks Heath until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Start with the essentials: the date, venue, headcount and diets.
- You get a suggested taco-bar spread and a quote.
- We agree where the table goes and where our vehicle can unload.
- Our staff set up the station, keep the fillings hot and top up the bar through service.
- When service finishes, we clear the table and pack the vehicle.
Getting ready for the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
