Taco bar hire near Dean
How our taco bar hire works in Dean
We run the taco bar ourselves: keeping the fillings hot, warming tortillas and topping up the bowls. Nobody from your side needs to lift a spoon. It suits retirement parties and garden parties, serving guacamole, a build-your-own taco bar and pickled onions and toppings.
In a hamlet or village like Dean, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. Our staff set up the station and run it through service. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
A closer look at the menu
Hot fillings
A few fillings give guests plenty of choice, with at least one vegan. You choose them with us.
Toppings
Toppings let guests finish their tacos their way.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Dean questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Peter?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
What’s the nearest station to Dean for guests?
Guests can use Botley station, about 4.6 miles south-west of Dean.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, Hampshire included. See all areas.
Does the taco bar need the truck on site?
It can go beside the truck or trailer, or somewhere a vehicle can’t reach. Either way, we need to unload nearby and have the venue’s permission.
How much is a food truck for an event?
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
