Taco bar hire in High Cross, from our truck or trailer
The taco bar works for a wedding breakfast, a party or a working lunch. Guests build their plates quickly, so a crowd moves through steadily, and nobody waits long. On the menu are pickled onions and toppings, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and guacamole, and it’s a good fit for anniversary parties and team lunches.
For a rural spot like High Cross, 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 will confirm power and water with you. You will know what’s included before booking: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
Dietary needs and planning tips
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Decide where the table goes before the day
- Include a vegan filling on the bar
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
- Put allergies in writing for us
Fillings are kept hot and tortillas warmed in batches, so the bar stays fresh from the first plate to the last.
Ask us about plates, napkins and cutlery and we’ll set out the options in your quote.

How we price taco bar hire
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Guest numbers
- How long we are needed on site
- How many staff you need
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- How we drive in and where we can park
- The venue or postcode
- What you’d like on the menu
- The date and rough timings
Not sure what you need yet? No problem: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we’ll make suggestions. To start, fill in our quote form.
How it compares
Plated meals depend on a kitchen and a team of waiting staff. A taco bar needs a serving spot, somewhere close to unload and the venue’s agreement, with power and water confirmed when you book. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Why book with us
- Quoted for your event
- Set-up planned with you and your venue
- A menu agreed with you
- Book food, drinks or both
