Taco bar hire in Halstead, from our truck or trailer
Fillings are agreed with you, such as pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, plus a vegan choice such as spiced mushroom or black bean and sweet potato. We serve warm corn and flour tortillas, a build-your-own taco bar and fresh salsas, which works well for wedding breakfasts and engagement parties.
In a small place like Halstead, 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, as long as we can unload within a short walk. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, with allergen information for everything we serve.
The process
When service finishes, we pack up and leave our area tidy. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. Evenings in Halstead stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm. Once it gets dark, guests need to see what they’re adding to their tacos.

Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first
- Fit the bar into your running order
- Choose at least one vegan filling
- Send us allergy details in writing
A covered spot keeps the bar and guests dry if it rains, so plan somewhere sheltered if you can.
Extra salsas, from mild to hot, let guests choose their own heat.

Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

Is taco bar hire right for your event?
