About the menu

The toppings are where guests make each taco their own.
Warm tortillas
Corn and flour tortillas, warmed through in batches. Corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.
Taco bar hire in Hardwick, served fresh
A taco bar puts the whole spread on one table: warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Guests pick up a plate and build their own. We serve warm corn and flour tortillas, a build-your-own taco bar and burrito bowls, and it suits engagement parties and leaving and retirement parties.
In a hamlet or village like Hardwick, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. Our staff set up the station and run it through service; tell us about access and parking. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Hardwick: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Do you come out to small places like Hardwick?
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.
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will check the licensing with you.
How spicy is the food?
It’s up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
Can guests build tacos at a wedding breakfast?
A taco bar makes a relaxed, sociable wedding meal. We fit it around your speeches and photos. Read our taco bar guide for ideas.
What’s on the menu?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so get in touch early.
Organising for someone else?
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.

What happens on the day
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. Winter evenings in Hardwick close in by about 3:55pm, so set the station up where the lighting is good. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:30pm.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- Together we choose what goes on the bar.
- We confirm the table spot and where we will unload.
- On the day, guests help themselves while we keep the bar stocked.
- When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
How to get a price
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.

Dietary needs and planning tips
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Pick the spot for the taco bar in advance
- Choose at least one vegan filling
- Put guests with serious allergies in touch with us early
- Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
Fillings are kept hot and tortillas warmed in batches, so the bar stays fresh from the first plate to the last.
Book the truck or trailer for evening food after a daytime taco bar.
Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Whether you need disposables
- How many staff you need
- The number of people
- Timings and hours
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
What to tell us
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- The venue or postcode
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
Send us the date, your venue or OX27 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just send us your details through our quote form.
Why choose taco bar hire in Hardwick?
A full taco bar looks inviting: salsas, guacamole and toppings laid out together make an easy centrepiece.
