Working with your venue
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
About our taco bar hire in Ecchinswell
With a taco bar, everything is laid out in one place: warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Guests pick up a plate and build their own. We serve pickled onions and toppings, fresh salsas and guacamole, and it’s a good fit for evening wedding receptions and milestone birthdays.
Near Ecchinswell, a marquee or barn makes a good home for a taco bar. We set up the station and our team runs it; tell us about access and parking. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

Planning the serving area
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- A clear route from the vehicle to the serving spot
- A spot next to the truck or trailer when both are booked
- Shelter from rain and sun for an outdoor bar
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
On the menu in Ecchinswell
- Tortilla chips
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Vegan fillings
- Two to four fillings
- Salsas and guacamole
Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.

What happens on the day
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. Around midsummer it stays light in Ecchinswell until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is typically served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Tell us the date, the venue, how many guests and any diets.
- We suggest fillings, salsas and toppings for the bar and send a quote.
- Together we fix the spot for the taco bar and a nearby place for our vehicle.
- We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and guests help themselves.
- When service finishes, we clear the table and pack the vehicle.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer

Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Pick the spot for the taco bar in advance
- Make sure one filling is vegan
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
Our staff stand behind the bar to top up dishes and help guests.
Loaded nachos make a good starter while the bar is set up.
The menu, item by item
Vegan fillings
Black bean and sweet potato, or spiced mushrooms, cooked separately.
Hot fillings
Slow-cooked fillings kept hot on the bar, such as carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria.
