Taco bar hire in Hillyfields, from our truck or trailer
Our taco bar travels to events across Hillyfields and the surrounding area: from barns and marquees to gardens, halls and offices. At garden parties and wedding day food, we will put together a menu of fresh salsas, warm corn and flour tortillas and burrito bowls for your guests.
In and around Hillyfields, a taco bar works beside the truck or in a hall nearby. If the truck cannot reach the garden, we park as close as we can and set the station up where your guests are, as long as we can unload within a short walk. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer.

Your questions about taco bar hire in Hillyfields
Can you serve near the sea around Hillyfields?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
We are having a ceremony at All Saints: can you cater afterwards?
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.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run 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 will go through the licensing with you.
What should the venue provide?
Room for the table and a queue, plus a nearby place to unload. We confirm power and water when you book.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
How much is a taco bar?
Every taco bar is quoted for individually, based on numbers, fillings, the venue and timings. For a price, send us your details through our quote form.
Is a taco bar suitable for a big group?
It depends on the event and the timings. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- A clear route from the vehicle to the serving spot
- Space for a line of guests at the bar
- Cover overhead if the bar is outdoors
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.
What we offer
- Tortilla chips
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Vegan fillings
- Two to four fillings
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Salsas and guacamole

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.
Throwing a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about access, and we’ll let you know if it’s a good fit.
How it compares
A standard buffet often sits out cold. We keep the fillings hot and refill the dishes through service. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we will set out what’s included.
