About our taco bar hire in Harvel
Mixed diets are simple at a taco bar, because every filling and topping sits in its own dish. There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. For wedding meals and birthday celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of a build-your-own taco bar, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and burrito bowls for your guests.
For a rural spot like Harvel, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we’ll confirm power and water with you. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.
Prices and what affects them
We quote for your event, and the price is based on:
- How many staff you need
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- The number of people
- Travel, parking and access
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we’ll set out what’s included.

- The date and rough timings

About the menu
Salsas
Salsa lets everyone pick their own heat.
Warm tortillas
Soft corn and flour tortillas, kept warm so there’s always one ready. The corn ones suit gluten-free guests.
Before you choose a spot
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Shelter from rain and sun for an outdoor bar
- Power and water, which we confirm when you book
- Easy access from where we unload to the table
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
On the menu in Harvel
- Vegan fillings
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Salsas and guacamole
- Tortilla chips
- Two to four fillings
Step by step
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a photo of the space if you’re unsure. A December taco bar in Harvel will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. In late June, the light holds until around 9:20pm.
- Begin with the date and headcount.
- We agree a menu that covers every diet.
- We fix timings with you and the venue.
- Service starts when your running order says.
- We clear our station when service ends.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches

Dietary needs and planning tips
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Ensure one filling is vegan
- Set out seating near the bar
- Confirm any allergies to us by email
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first
Once guests have eaten, we clear the table and pack up and leave the spot tidy.

Common questions in Harvel
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
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.
How far is Harvel from London?
It’s about 23 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will plan the menu around them.
Can you set up where a truck can’t get in?
The bar can stand on its own, away from the truck or trailer. We still need to park our vehicle nearby to unload, and the venue’s agreement.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will check the licensing with you.
Is a taco bar suitable for a big group?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are looked at case by case. Tell us your numbers and we’ll plan the bar around them.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
