Taco bar hire in Hammer, from our food truck or trailer
Our staff set up the taco bar and look after it through service: keeping the fillings hot, warming tortillas and topping up the bowls. Nobody from your side needs to lift a spoon. On the menu are burrito bowls, warm corn and flour tortillas and slow-cooked fillings kept hot, and it is a good fit for barn and marquee parties and working lunches.
Somewhere as small as Hammer, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If the truck can’t get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, though we still need to unload within a short walk. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Planning for every diet
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
- Let us know about anyone who is coeliac
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first
- Count children separately
If speeches or timings run over, we keep the fillings hot and start when you are ready.
Extra salsas, from mild to hot, let guests choose their own heat.

FAQs for Hammer
Could you set up a taco bar in a hall near Hammer?
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.
Do you cater in villages like Hammer?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Is a taco bar right for a wedding?
It can serve the wedding meal, the evening or both. We agree the timings with your venue, and guests build their own plates.
Do you do parties at home?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
