Planning help
Taco bar hire in Forestdale, from our food truck or trailer
We run the taco bar ourselves: warming tortillas, keeping fillings hot and refilling the salsas as they go. Nobody from your side needs to lift a spoon. It suits team socials and retirement parties, with guacamole, a build-your-own taco bar and fresh salsas.
In Forestdale, a hired hall, a courtyard or a garden without drive access can still host a taco bar. A taco bar station can be set up away from the truck, with the venue’s agreement, and the route from our parking spot to the station needs to be clear. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
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, and handles allergen information for you.
How it compares
A sandwich platter is easy to order but rarely remembered. A hot taco bar gives guests something to gather round. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
What you get with us
- Allergen information for everything we serve
- A menu agreed with you
- Tacos, burritos and a drinks bar
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests
Catering for every guest
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Include a dietary question on your invitations
- Let us know about anyone who is coeliac
- Confirm any allergies to us by email
- Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
If the schedule slips, tell us and we will hold everything hot until you are ready.
For larger groups, ask about a second serving point.

Forestdale questions
Could you serve in Addington Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Can you set up a taco bar where your truck can’t park in Forestdale?
Yes, if the venue allows it. The truck or trailer does not have to reach the room, but we do need to unload close by, so tell us about loading, permits and parking.
How long do you serve for?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
Who looks after the taco bar?
We set up and stay to keep the bar hot and stocked.
How much does taco bar hire cost in Forestdale?
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
Are plates and napkins included?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
What should the venue provide?
Send us details of the venue and where you’d like the bar, and we will confirm what’s needed. We also need the venue’s permission.
Organising for someone else?
Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
