How our taco bar hire works in California
We can serve the taco bar next to the truck or trailer, or as a separate station. Where a vehicle can’t reach the serving spot, we unload nearby and set the table up there, with the venue’s agreement. On the menu are burrito bowls, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and warm corn and flour tortillas, and it suits wedding breakfasts and leaving and retirement parties.
For a rural spot like California, 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 will confirm power and water with you. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

What else we do in California
Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Taco bar hire or something else?
A standard buffet often sits out cold. Our fillings stay hot and the bowls are topped up as guests come back. Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Your quote confirms the full price.

Questions from California
Will you travel to a small place like California?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
We can, as long as the venue agrees. The station needs room for a queue, and we need to park and unload close to the door.
What is a build-your-own taco bar?
Guests take a plate and fill their tortillas from the dishes on the bar. Our staff look after the bar throughout.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, including Wokingham. See all areas.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Is the taco bar staffed?
The taco bar is served from a table or station by our staff, so you do not need helpers. We pack it away afterwards.
Space, access and the venue
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Space for a line of guests at the bar
- A flat spot for the taco-bar station
- Space beside the truck or trailer if you are booking both
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
