Taco bar hire in Hattingley
Taco bar hire in Hattingley, from our truck or trailer
We can serve the taco bar next to the truck or trailer, or as a separate station. If the truck cannot get to the spot, we park close by, unload and carry the bar in, as long as the venue agrees. We serve slow-cooked fillings kept hot, pickled onions and toppings and burrito bowls, and it suits retirement parties and evening wedding receptions.
For a rural spot like Hattingley, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.

Planning for every diet
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:

Indoors or under cover, the bar carries on whatever the weather.
Book the truck or trailer for evening food after a daytime taco bar, quoted with the rest.
For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Where the truck can go in Hattingley
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
