Taco bar hire in Hale Common, from our truck or trailer
Fillings are agreed with you, perhaps carnitas, chicken tinga or birria, with a vegan filling like black bean and sweet potato or spiced mushroom. For office lunches and birthday parties, we can serve guacamole, fresh salsas and a build-your-own taco bar.
Somewhere as small as Hale Common, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Agree the serving spot with your venue early
- Collect dietary needs with your replies
- Check where our vehicle can unload
- Ensure one filling is vegan
A covered spot keeps the bar and guests dry if it rains, so plan somewhere sheltered if you can.
For larger groups, ask about a second serving point.
What taco bar hire costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- How many staff you need
- Distance and access to the venue
