- A spot next to the truck or trailer when both are booked
- Space for a line of guests at the bar
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How our taco bar hire works in Gilbert Street
For a bigger spread, burrito bowls, nachos or quesadillas can sit alongside the tacos. Margaritas and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can be added, with licensing checked with you. For back-garden gatherings and milestone birthdays, we will put together a menu of pickled onions and toppings, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and warm corn and flour tortillas and more.
Somewhere as small as Gilbert Street, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If the truck cannot get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
The menu, item by item
Hot fillings
A few fillings give guests plenty of choice. We agree them with you.
Toppings
Pickled onions, coriander, lime, lettuce and cheese, agreed with you.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first
- Plan the taco bar around speeches and timings
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Choose at least one vegan filling
Staff stay at the taco bar to refill bowls and answer questions about fillings and allergens.
Extra salsas, from mild to hot, let guests choose their own heat.

Gilbert Street questions
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Peter?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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 will check the access.
Do you set up taco bars indoors in places like Gilbert Street?
Yes, if the venue allows outside caterers. We need a short route from where we park to the room, and space for the station and a queue.
Who looks after the taco bar?
We set up and stay to keep the bar hot and stocked.
Is a taco bar good for vegans and gluten-free guests?
Keeping each dish separate makes mixed diets easier, though we cannot guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
Do you need electricity?
Tell us what the site has, for example a supply from the venue, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
