Taco bar hire for Flimwell events
Taco bar hire in Flimwell, served fresh
We can serve the taco bar next to the truck or trailer, or as a separate station. Where a vehicle cannot reach the serving spot, we unload nearby and set the table up there, with the venue’s agreement. It works well for christenings and family parties and working lunches, serving fresh salsas, guacamole and warm corn and flour tortillas.
Near Flimwell, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we’ll confirm power and water with you. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Check where our vehicle can unload
- Make sure guests have somewhere to sit
- Include a dietary question on your invitations
- Plan the taco bar around speeches and timings
We warm tortillas in batches and keep the fillings hot, so the bar stays fresh from the first plate to the last.
Book our drinks bar with the taco bar with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Food, drinks or both
- Your choice of food and drinks
Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you can choose what you need.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Where the event is
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Diets and allergies you know about
The quickest way to a quote is to use our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we will put together a menu and price.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
