Planning an event in Gaskins?
Planning for every diet
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Plan the taco bar around speeches and timings
- Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
- Put guests with serious allergies in touch with us early
- Make sure one filling is vegan
Fillings are kept hot and tortillas warmed in batches, so the bar stays fresh from the first plate to the last.
For larger groups, ask about a second serving point, quoted for your event.
How our taco bar hire works in Gaskins
The toppings are where guests get creative: lime wedges, coriander, pickled onions, cheese and crema, agreed with you in advance. On the menu are fresh salsas, a build-your-own taco bar and guacamole, and it’s a good fit for wedding breakfasts and team socials.
In a small place like Gaskins, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If the truck cannot get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, though we still need to unload within a short walk. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Gaskins questions
Will you travel to a small place like Gaskins?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
We are having a ceremony at St Catherine-by-the-Green: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
How many guests can a taco bar serve?
Our service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are looked at case by case. Tell us your numbers and we will plan the bar around them.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
Do you need electricity?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
When do you arrive?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Events we cater in Gaskins
Building your own is quick, so a crowd is fed at a steady pace, which suits a wedding breakfast or a lunch break.
If you are planning any of these, we can help:
- Birthday celebrations
- Garden parties
- Christenings and family parties
- Wedding breakfasts
After a christening or wedding at a church such as St Catherine-by-the-Green, a taco bar at a hall or garden nearby lets guests build their own tacos.
What your quote should include
- When final numbers are due
- Who provides plates and napkins
- Space, access, power and water needs
- How many staff are serving, and for how long
Where the truck can go in Gaskins
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- Power and water, which we confirm when you book
- Cover overhead if the bar is outdoors
- A spot next to the truck or trailer when both are booked
Out-of-the-way places like Gaskins take a little more planning, so let us know about tracks, gates and power in good time.

Taco bar hire or something else?
A sandwich platter is easy to order but rarely remembered. Warm tortillas and hot fillings give a lunch more to talk about. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
