Taco bar hire for Horam events
The process
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Around midsummer it stays light in Horam until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Begin with the date and headcount.
- We plan fillings and toppings around your guests’ diets.
- Nearer the date, we confirm timings and the serving spot.
- Service starts when your running order says.
- Once service is over, we pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Tell us what power and water the site has
How to get a price
To get a price, just drop us a line using the enquiry form. Tell us about your event in Horam, and we will suggest a menu to suit.

How our taco bar hire works in Horam
Our taco bar travels to events across Horam and the surrounding area: from barns and marquees to gardens, halls and offices. For team lunches and marquee parties, we can serve burrito bowls, guacamole and warm corn and flour tortillas and more.
Near Horam, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
- Confirm any allergies to us by email
- Flag any guest with coeliac disease
- Fit the bar into your running order
Fillings are kept hot and tortillas warmed in batches.
Nachos to share can keep guests going before the bar opens.

What affects the price in Horam
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- How many guests we’re serving
- How long we’re needed on site
- What’s on the menu
- Staff for serving and the bar
Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Your quote confirms the full price.
Details that help
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field
- The date and time of the event
- The venue or postcode
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
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. Read our guide to taco bars.
Horam questions
Could you serve our guests after a service at Christ Church?
Yes. The church itself is not 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’ll check the access.
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
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.
How is the food prepared?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Are plates and napkins included?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms, served alongside the meat options.
Can you set up where a truck can’t get in?
The bar can stand on its own, away from the truck or trailer. We still need to park our vehicle nearby to unload, and the venue’s agreement.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
What does taco bar hire cost?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we will reply with a quote.
For event organisers in Horam
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.

Comparing your options
Pizza is the usual crowd-pleaser, but a taco bar lets every guest design their own plate. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.
