Taco bar hire for your event in Dummer
Our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are quoted case by case. Share your headcount and we will size the taco bar to match. It works well for back-garden gatherings and wedding evening food, serving a build-your-own taco bar, burrito bowls and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
In a small place like Dummer, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, though we still need to unload within a short walk. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.

Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- What’s on the menu
- Whether you need disposables
- Timings and hours
- Distance and access to the venue
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.

We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
