Taco bar hire in Holybourne, from our truck or trailer
For a bigger spread, burrito bowls, nachos or quesadillas can sit alongside the tacos. Margaritas and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can be added, with licensing checked with you. It works well for evening wedding receptions and barn parties, serving pickled onions and toppings, burrito bowls and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
In a hamlet or village like Holybourne, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. Our staff set up the station and run it through service. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Holybourne questions
Do you set up taco bars indoors in places like Holybourne?
We can, as long as the venue agrees. The station needs room for a queue, and we need to park and unload close to the door.
Do you come out to small places like Holybourne?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Do you cook on site?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
What is a build-your-own taco bar?

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. Send us a photo and we will talk it through.
Is a taco bar right for a wedding?
The taco bar can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. We agree the timings with your venue, and guests build their own plates.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Taco bar hire or something else?
A standard buffet often sits out cold. We keep the fillings hot and refill the dishes through service. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.

What we need at the venue
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- The venue’s agreement for the taco bar and our vehicle
- Power and water, which we confirm when you book
- A flat spot for the taco-bar station
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.
Menu ideas
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Vegan fillings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Two to four fillings
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Tortilla chips
Should I do it myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
