Taco bar hire near Dorchester
Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Flag any guest with coeliac disease
- Ensure guests have somewhere to sit
- Agree the serving spot with your venue early
- Send us allergy details in writing
Once guests have eaten, we clear the table and pack up and leave the spot tidy.
Nachos to share can keep guests going before the bar opens.
Taco bar hire for your event in Dorchester
For a bigger spread, burrito bowls, nachos or quesadillas can sit alongside the tacos. Margaritas and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can be added, with licensing checked with you. We serve warm corn and flour tortillas, guacamole and slow-cooked fillings kept hot, and it is a good fit for birthday celebrations and engagement and anniversary parties.
Somewhere as small as Dorchester, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If the truck cannot get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, though we still need to unload within a short walk. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
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.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

Questions from Dorchester
Could you set up a taco bar in a hall near Dorchester?
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.
Will you travel to a small place like Dorchester?
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.
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
How many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
What do you need at the venue?
Tell us about the venue and the spot you have in mind, and we will check it works. The venue’s agreement is needed too.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
How much does taco bar hire cost?
We do not publish set prices, as each booking is different. Send us your details and we’ll quote for your event. See what Mexican catering costs for background.
