About our taco bar hire in Folkington
Mixed diets are simple at a taco bar, because every filling and topping sits in its own dish. There are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, plus allergen information for every dish. It suits leaving and retirement parties and garden parties, with slow-cooked fillings kept hot, fresh salsas and a build-your-own taco bar.
In a small place like Folkington, 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, as long as we can unload within a short walk. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Should I do it myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
How it works
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you are ready, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. From late May to late September, sunset in Folkington moves from about 8:50pm to 7:05pm. Let us know if an outdoor station will run after dark, and we will talk about lighting.
- 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.
- Our staff set up the station, keep the fillings hot and top up the bar through service.
- When service finishes, we clear the table and pack the vehicle.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Share the running order, including any speeches

Planning help
What taco bar hire costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How many guests we’re serving
- Whether you need disposables
- The menu you choose
- Parking and the route in
Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you can choose what you need.
What we need to know
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
Not sure what you need yet? That is fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will make suggestions. To start, use our quote form.
Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Ensure one filling is vegan
- Include a dietary question on your invitations
- Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
- Tell us when guests should eat
If speeches or timings run over, we keep the fillings hot and start when you are ready.
Book our drinks bar with the taco bar for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Folkington questions
Could you set up a taco bar in a hall near Folkington?
Yes, if the venue allows outside caterers. Tell us about the parking, the doors and the space for the station.
We’re having a ceremony at The Parish Church of Saint Peter: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Do you need power and water?
Tell us what the site has, for example a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Is a taco bar right for a wedding?
A taco bar makes a relaxed, sociable wedding meal. We fit it around your speeches and photos. Read our taco bar guide for ideas.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will talk licensing through with you.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
