Taco bar hire in Fords Farm, served fresh
Fillings are agreed with you, perhaps carnitas, chicken tinga or birria, plus a vegan choice such as spiced mushroom or black bean and sweet potato. Popular choices include burrito bowls, guacamole and pickled onions and toppings, which works well for marquee parties and team socials.
A place like Fords Farm may have a hall or a club nearby if your garden is small; the station needs a level surface, the venue’s permission and somewhere to unload. We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.

It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
Do you have options for kids?

- Tortilla chips

- Vegan fillings
- Two to four fillings
The process
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain doesn’t usually stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. Around midsummer it stays light in Fords Farm until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Contact us with your date and headcount.
- We plan fillings and toppings around your guests’ diets.
- Nearer the date, we confirm timings and the serving spot.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- Once service is over, we pack away.
How to prepare
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
