If your event is at a historic house or estate, ask early whether a staffed taco bar is allowed and where we could unload.

About our taco bar hire in Henwood
A taco bar puts the whole spread on one table: warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Guests pick up a plate and build their own. It suits working lunches and staff parties, with warm corn and flour tortillas, fresh salsas and a build-your-own taco bar.
Near Henwood, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we will confirm power and water with you. You will know what’s included before you book: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

A closer look at the menu
Warm tortillas
Every taco starts with a warm tortilla. We warm them as the bar needs them through service.
Salsas
A row of salsas, mild to hot.
Organising for someone else?
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Is taco bar hire right for your event?
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen, waiting staff and fixed courses. A taco bar needs a serving spot, somewhere close to unload and the venue’s agreement, and power and water are confirmed with each booking. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
Why book with us
- Quoted for your event
- Allergen information for everything we serve
- A truck or trailer that comes to you
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both

Henwood: your questions answered
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Peter?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
How far is Henwood from central London?
About 55 miles from central London.
Do you need electricity?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Is a taco bar suitable for a big group?
That depends on your timings and the event. As a guide, our bookings usually fall around 50 to 400 guests.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll check the licensing with you.
Is the taco bar staffed?
We set up and stay to keep the bar hot and stocked through service.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- How many guests we’re serving
- Food, drinks or both
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- How long we’re needed on site
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- The address or venue name
- Your menu ideas
- The date and time of the event
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: venue, timings, menu ideas and access. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Step by step
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. Planning an evening taco bar in Henwood? Sunset is around 9:00pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September. Once it gets dark, guests need to see what they’re adding to their tacos.
- Start with your date, venue and guest numbers.
- Together we choose what goes on the bar.
- We confirm the table spot and where we will unload.
- On the day, guests help themselves while we keep the bar stocked.
- When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
How to prepare
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Give us your final numbers and diets
