Taco bar hire for Green Park events
How our taco bar hire works in Green Park
A taco bar suits mixed diets well, as fillings and toppings are kept in separate dishes. There are vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. At wedding meals and birthday celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of fresh salsas, a build-your-own taco bar and pickled onions and toppings for your guests.
Near Green Park, a marquee or barn makes a good home for a taco bar. We set up the station and our team runs it; tell us about access and parking. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
What taco bar hire costs
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Your choice of food and drinks
- The length of service
- The number of people
- What the venue already provides
Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you choose what goes in.

- The date and time of the event

How the day works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a picture of the space if you are unsure. Around midsummer it stays light in Green Park until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is usually served in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Start with your date, venue and guest numbers.
- We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.
- The venue confirms where the bar goes and where we park.
- On the day, guests help themselves while we keep the bar stocked.
- We clear the bar away after service.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve

FAQs for Green Park
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Paul's Church?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
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.
