Taco bar hire in Hookwood, served fresh
The bar can stand beside our truck or trailer, or on its own. If the truck cannot get to the spot, we park close by, unload and carry the bar in, with the venue’s agreement. It works well for family get-togethers and marquee parties, with guacamole, burrito bowls and warm corn and flour tortillas.
In a small place like Hookwood, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If the truck cannot get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

How it works
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. Guests come up to order when service opens. Around midsummer it stays light in Hookwood until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.

Fillings are kept hot and tortillas warmed in batches, so the bar stays fresh from the first plate to the last.

Taco bar hire or something else?
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen, waiting staff and fixed courses. For a taco bar, we need a serving spot, a nearby place to unload and the venue’s permission, 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. Contact us for a quote.
What we offer in Hookwood

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
