How our taco bar hire works in Hillway
Truck and trailer bookings normally suit around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are quoted case by case. Share your headcount and we’ll size the taco bar to match. We serve burrito bowls, guacamole and slow-cooked fillings kept hot, and it suits engagement and anniversary parties and office lunches.
Somewhere as small as Hillway, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, though we still need to unload within a short walk. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.

Questions from Hillway
Could you come to a seaside event near Hillway?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Seafront and beach spots normally need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Do you cater in villages like Hillway?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Can you cater in a back garden?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
Who looks after the taco bar?
We set up and stay to keep the bar hot and stocked through service.
Do you need power and water?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll check the licensing with you.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we’ll keep their options separate.

How it works
When we arrive, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, planned around your event. Winter evenings in Hillway close in by about 4:00pm, so set the station up where the lighting is good. In late June, the light holds until around 9:20pm.
- Start with your date, venue and guest numbers.
- We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.
- The venue confirms where the bar goes and where we park.
- Our staff set out the bar and guests build their own tacos.
- When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
