Taco bar hire for your event in Ellingham
Our taco bar travels to events across Ellingham and the surrounding area: from barns and marquees to gardens, halls and offices, wherever there is room for the table. Popular choices include burrito bowls, warm corn and flour tortillas and pickled onions and toppings, and it is a good fit for team socials and milestone birthdays.
In a small place like Ellingham, 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. Your quote sets out what’s included: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

FAQs for Ellingham
Do you come to events in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Could you set up a taco bar in a hall near Ellingham?
Yes, with the venue’s permission. We need a short route from where we park to the room, and space for the station and a queue.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
Can guests build tacos at a wedding breakfast?
It can serve the wedding meal, the evening or both. We agree the timings with your venue, and guests build their own plates.
What if a vehicle can’t reach the serving spot?
The taco bar can be served from a table or station away from the truck. We still need somewhere close to unload our vehicle, and the venue has to agree.
What does a taco bar cost?
Every taco bar is quoted for individually, depending on guests, menu, venue and timings. Contact us for a quote.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Can I do a taco night myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
