Taco bar hire in Chazey Heath, served fresh
The bar can stand beside our food truck or trailer, or on its own. If the truck can’t get to the spot, we park close by, unload and carry the bar in, as long as the venue agrees. It suits team socials and wedding day food, with slow-cooked fillings kept hot, pickled onions and toppings and fresh salsas.
Near Chazey Heath, a marquee or barn makes a good home for a taco bar. Our staff set up the station and run it through service; tell us about access and parking. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

Common questions in Chazey Heath
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St John the Baptist?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Could you set up a taco bar in a hall near Chazey Heath?
Yes, if the venue allows outside caterers. Tell us about the parking, the doors and the space for the station.
How much is a taco bar?
Every taco bar is quoted for individually, based on numbers, fillings, the venue and timings. For a price, use our quote form.
Is the food very hot?
It’s up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
What do you need at the venue?
Tell us about the venue and the spot you have in mind, and we will confirm what’s needed. The venue’s agreement is needed too.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
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.
How we price taco bar hire
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The menu you choose
- Distance and access to the venue
- How many staff you need
- How long we are needed on site
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
What we need to know
These details help us quote quickly:
- Your menu ideas
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many adults and children
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. When you’re ready, send a quick message through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Put allergies in writing for us
- Include a dietary question on your invitations
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first
We warm tortillas in batches and keep the fillings hot.
Ask us whether a second station would help with big numbers.
