Taco bar hire in Five Wents, from our food truck or trailer
The toppings are where guests get creative: pickled onions, coriander, lime, shredded lettuce and cheese, depending on the menu you choose. At leaving dos and engagement parties, we’ll put together a menu of warm corn and flour tortillas, burrito bowls and slow-cooked fillings kept hot and more.
For a rural spot like Five Wents, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we will confirm power and water with you. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Step by step
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Winter evenings in Five Wents close in by about 3:50pm, so set the station up where the lighting is good. In late June, the light holds until around 9:15pm.
- Send us your date, where the taco bar will go, numbers and dietary needs.
- 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.
- Once guests have eaten, we take down the bar and leave the spot tidy.

Planning help
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Why choose taco bar hire in Five Wents?
You aren’t limited to places a truck can park, such as a courtyard, a barn or a hall, with the venue’s agreement.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
- Agree the serving spot with your venue early
- Ask the venue where we can park to unload
A covered spot keeps the bar and guests dry if it rains, so plan somewhere sheltered if you can.
Loaded nachos make a good starter while the bar is set up.
