Taco bar hire in Denton, from our food truck or trailer

The toppings are where guests get creative: pickled onions, coriander, lime, shredded lettuce and cheese, agreed with you in advance. Popular choices include pickled onions and toppings, guacamole and a build-your-own taco bar, and it suits working lunches and family celebrations.

Near Denton, a hall or club may suit a taco bar if your own space is tight; we need the venue’s permission, a level spot and somewhere to unload. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

About the menu

Vegan fillings

A vegan filling sits on the bar with the rest.

Toppings

Toppings let guests finish their tacos their way.

Can I do a taco night myself?

You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.

Dietary needs and planning tips

Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:

  • Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
  • Set out seating near the bar
  • Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
  • Give us separate numbers for children

We get there early enough to unload, lay out the table and heat everything through.

Ask us whether a second station would help with big numbers, quoted for your event.

FAQs for Denton

Which station should guests use for Denton?

Guests can use Newhaven Town station, about 0.6 miles south of Denton.

Do you come to events in the South Downs National Park?

Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.

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.

How many guests can a taco bar serve?

It depends on the event and the timings. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.

How does a taco bar work?

Guests take a plate and fill their tortillas from the dishes on the bar. We run the bar from set-up to pack-down.

Do you cover Denton?

Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Denton is within our area and the rest of East Sussex. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

Can you plan for allergies?

Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.

How much does taco bar hire cost in Denton?

We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers and we’ll reply with a quote.

What happens on the day

When we arrive, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. Service starts at the time we have agreed, planned around your event. A December taco bar in Denton will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:15pm.

  1. Begin with the date and headcount.
  2. We plan fillings and toppings around your guests’ diets.
  3. Nearer the date, we confirm timings and the serving spot.
  4. Service starts when your running order says.
  5. We clear our station when service ends.

Preparing for the day

  • Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
  • Measure any gates or arches on the way in
  • Ask the venue about power and water

How to get a price
