Taco bar hire in Hawley
Taco bar hire in Hawley, served fresh
We run the taco bar ourselves: keeping the fillings hot, warming tortillas and topping up the bowls. Your hosts can stay with their guests. It suits engagement parties and evening receptions, with warm corn and flour tortillas, a build-your-own taco bar and fresh salsas.
In a smaller place like Hawley, a taco bar in your garden or a local hall keeps things simple. We set up and run the station, and guests choose their own fillings and toppings. Tell us where we can park and unload. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
How it works
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. From late May to late September, sunset in Hawley moves from about 8:55pm to 7:05pm. Let us know if an outdoor station will run after dark, and we’ll talk about lighting.
- Contact us with your date and headcount.
- We plan fillings and toppings around your guests’ diets.
- We fix timings with you and the venue.
- Service starts when your running order says.
- Once service is over, we pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

About the menu
Hot fillings
Slow-cooked fillings kept hot on the bar, such as carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria.
Guacamole
Guacamole made fresh, with lime and coriander.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Why choose taco bar hire in Hawley?
A taco bar and a truck serve the same food in different ways. From the truck, we put each order together; at the bar, guests build their own. Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.

How we price taco bar hire
We quote for your event, and the price is based on:
- What’s on the menu
- What the venue already provides
- The length of service
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Where the event is
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Your date and when you want service to start
- A photo of the space, if it is a garden or field
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Check where our vehicle can unload
- Include a vegan filling on the bar
- Include a dietary question on your invitations
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
A covered spot keeps the bar and guests dry if it rains, so plan somewhere sheltered if you can.
Burrito bowls sit well on the bar for anyone avoiding tortillas.
