Taco bar hire in Dunbridge, served fresh
Our staff set up the taco bar and look after it through service: warming tortillas, keeping fillings hot and refilling the salsas as they go. Nobody from your side needs to lift a spoon. It works well for barn and marquee parties and christenings and family parties, with slow-cooked fillings kept hot, warm corn and flour tortillas and guacamole.
Somewhere as small as Dunbridge, 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, as long as we can unload within a short walk. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Confirm any allergies to us by email
- Decide where the table goes before the day
- Include a dietary question on your invitations
- Give us separate numbers for children
Fillings are kept hot and tortillas warmed in batches.
Ask us whether a second station would help with big numbers.
How the day works
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can. Around midsummer it stays light in Dunbridge until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.
- We confirm the table spot and where we’ll unload.
- Our staff set out the bar and guests build their own tacos.
- We clear the bar away after service.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer

Around Dunbridge, historic houses include Mottisfont Abbey (0.7 miles north-east). Historic venues often limit where vehicles can go, so ask whether a taco bar station could be set up inside while our truck or trailer parks further off.
