Taco bar hire for your event in Hartley
Toppings make the bar: lime wedges, coriander, pickled onions, cheese and crema, depending on the menu you choose. At birthday celebrations and wedding evening food, we’ll put together a menu of a build-your-own taco bar, fresh salsas and pickled onions and toppings for your guests.
Near Hartley, a hall or club may suit a taco bar if your own space is tight; the station needs a level surface, the venue’s permission and somewhere to unload. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer.
How it works
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 Hartley stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm. After dusk, lights over the station help guests build their tacos.

Planning help
Planning for every diet
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Confirm any allergies to us by email
- Decide where the table goes before the day
- Choose at least one vegan filling
- Collect dietary needs with your replies
Each dish is labelled, and allergen information is kept at the bar.
Extra salsas, from mild to hot, let guests choose their own heat.
Should I do it myself?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

What taco bar hire costs
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- What’s on the menu
- Staff for serving and the bar
- What the venue already provides
- Distance and access to the venue
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.

- The date and time of the event
- Diets and allergies you know about

FAQs for Hartley
Is it possible to have you in Rectory Meadow?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of Saint Mary?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Can guests build their own tacos?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
Who clears up?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. For alcohol, we’ll go through the licensing with you and your venue.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we will keep their options separate.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
Can the taco bar cater for special diets?
There are vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
