Taco bar hire in Calcott, served fresh
Our staff set up the taco bar and look after it through service: warming tortillas, keeping fillings hot and refilling the salsas as they go. Your hosts can stay with their guests. For team socials and christenings and family parties, we’ll put together a menu of fresh salsas, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and burrito bowls.
In a hamlet or village like Calcott, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. We set up the station and our team runs it. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer.

Taco bar hire or something else?
A taco bar and a truck serve the same food in different ways. From the truck, we put each order together; at the taco bar, guests do the building. Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
What you get with us
- Book food, drinks or both

Diets, allergies and planning
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
- Agree the serving spot with your venue early
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Tell us when guests should eat
If the schedule slips, tell us and we will hold everything hot until you are ready.
Extra salsas, from mild to hot, let guests choose their own heat.
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
