Taco bar hire for your event in Ham
With a taco bar, everything is laid out in one place: tortillas kept warm, fillings kept hot, and bowls of salsa, guacamole and toppings. Guests pick up a plate and build their own. It works well for family celebrations and birthday parties, serving warm corn and flour tortillas, burrito bowls and pickled onions and toppings.
Near Ham, a marquee or barn makes a good home for a taco bar. Our staff set up the station and run it through service. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.
How it works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a photo of the space if you’re unsure. In Ham, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is normally served in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Begin with the date and headcount.
- We plan fillings and toppings around your guests’ diets.
- We fix timings with you and the venue.
- Service starts when your running order says.
- We clear our station when service ends.
How to prepare
- Find out what power and water are available
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve

It’s up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
