Taco bar hire for your event in Godshill
The bar can stand beside our truck or trailer, or on its own. Where a vehicle can’t reach the serving spot, we unload nearby and set the table up there, with the venue’s agreement. We serve pickled onions and toppings, a build-your-own taco bar and slow-cooked fillings kept hot, which works well for working lunches and marquee parties.
In a small place like Godshill, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, though we still need to unload within a short walk. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Can you cater a reception after a service at All Saints' Church?
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. Send us the reception address.

Is the food very hot?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
What happens if it rains?
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.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Do you need power and water?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
How does taco bar hire work?
A serving table is laid with warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and guests build their own tacos. Our staff keep it hot and topped up.

- A clear route from the vehicle to the serving spot
- Room for the bar alongside the vehicle, if booked together
