Popular choices
Guacamole
No taco bar is complete without guacamole, so we keep it topped up.
Toppings
Toppings let guests finish their tacos their way, and dairy-free choices are kept apart.
Taco bar hire in Forstal, served fresh
Our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Share your headcount and we’ll size the taco bar to match. For barn parties and evening receptions, we will put together a menu of pickled onions and toppings, warm corn and flour tortillas and fresh salsas and more.
For a rural spot like Forstal, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we’ll confirm power and water with you. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Catering for every guest
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Decide where the table goes before the day
- Include a dietary question on your invitations
- Let us know about anyone who is coeliac
- Put allergies in writing for us
Indoors or under cover, the bar carries on whatever the weather, so plan somewhere sheltered if you can.
Extra salsas, from mild to hot, let guests choose their own heat.
