Taco bar hire for your event in Founthill
Truck and trailer bookings typically suit around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers and we will plan the taco bar around them. It suits family get-togethers and engagement and anniversary parties, serving fresh salsas, burrito bowls and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
Somewhere as small as Founthill, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If the truck can’t get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, though we still need to unload within a short walk. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Founthill questions
Could you serve our guests after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary?
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’ll check the access.
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
We can, as long as the venue agrees. The station needs room for a queue, and we need to park and unload close to the door.
Who looks after the taco bar?
Our staff set up the bar, keep the fillings hot and top up the dishes through service.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
How much does taco bar hire cost?
We do not publish set prices, as each booking is different. Share your plans and you will get a quote. See what Mexican catering costs for background.
Is a taco bar suitable for a big group?
It depends on the event and the timings. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
What access do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.

Salsas
Fresh salsas, from a mild tomato salsa to something hotter.
How it works
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A photo of the space helps. From late May to late September, sunset in Founthill moves from about 8:50pm to 7:05pm. If the taco bar is outdoors and runs later, tell us what lighting the venue has.
- Send us your date, where the taco bar will go, numbers and dietary needs.
- 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.
