Taco bar hire in Hartley
How our taco bar hire works in Hartley
You choose the fillings with us, perhaps carnitas, chicken tinga or birria, plus a vegan choice such as spiced mushroom or black bean and sweet potato. At retirement parties and milestone birthdays, we can serve a build-your-own taco bar, guacamole and fresh salsas and more.
Near Hartley, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we will confirm power and water with you. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
Popular choices
Guacamole
Guacamole goes quickly on a taco bar, so we keep it topped up.
Toppings
The toppings are where guests make each taco their own.
Diets, allergies and planning
Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included. To make it work smoothly:
- Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
- Make sure guests have somewhere to sit
- Send us allergy details in writing
- Fit the bar into your running order
Our staff stand behind the bar to top up dishes and help guests about fillings and allergens.
Our truck or trailer can serve later in the day, after the taco bar, quoted with the rest.
What we need at the venue
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- Cover overhead if the bar is outdoors
- Space for a serving table on level ground
- A spot next to the truck or trailer when both are booked
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

How far is Hartley from London?

How is the food prepared?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.

Do you need electricity?
Tell us what the site has, for instance a supply from the venue, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.

There’s no price list, because no two events are the same. Send us your details and we will quote for your event. Our guide to Mexican catering costs may help.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not typically stop service from the truck or trailer. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
What food and drinks do you offer?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could 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.
