Taco bar hire for your event in Forton
The taco bar works for a wedding breakfast, a party or a working lunch. Building your own is quick, which keeps the line moving, and nobody waits long. We serve slow-cooked fillings kept hot, warm corn and flour tortillas and a build-your-own taco bar, and it’s a good fit for company parties and family celebrations.
For a place the size of Forton, a garden or a hall nearby can suit a taco bar. We set up and run the station, and guests choose their own fillings and toppings. Let us know about the drive and parking. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Where the truck can go in Forton
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- A sheltered spot if we’re serving outside
- Room for guests to queue along the table
- Room for the bar alongside the vehicle, if booked together
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
Menu ideas
- Salsas and guacamole
- Corn and flour tortillas

The menu, item by item
Warm tortillas
Every taco starts with a warm tortilla. We warm them as the bar needs them through service.
Hot fillings
Slow-cooked fillings kept hot on the bar, such as carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.

Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Include a vegan filling on the bar
- Put guests with serious allergies in touch with us early
- Make sure guests have somewhere to sit
- Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
Fillings are kept hot and tortillas warmed in batches, so the bar stays fresh from the first plate to the last.
Add burrito bowls for guests who’d rather skip tortillas.
The process
Serving is quick: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. A December taco bar in Forton will be in the dark from about 4:00pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. In late June, the light holds until around 9:20pm.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- Together we choose what goes on the bar.
- The venue confirms where the bar goes and where we park.
- Our staff set out the bar and guests build their own tacos.
- We clear the bar away after service.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough

FAQs for Forton
Do you cater at coastal events near Forton?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades generally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
How far is Forton from London?
Roughly 66 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
What does a taco bar cost?
There’s no price list, because no two events are the same. Send us your details and we will quote for your event. Our guide to Mexican catering costs may help.
Do you need electricity?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we’ll park.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
