Taco bar hire near Horton
Taco bar hire in Horton, served fresh
A taco bar suits mixed diets well, as fillings and toppings are kept in separate dishes. We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, plus allergen information for every dish. On the menu are burrito bowls, warm corn and flour tortillas and a build-your-own taco bar, which works well for wedding meals and wedding evening food.
Somewhere as small as Horton, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If the truck can’t get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
Popular choices
Guacamole
Guacamole made fresh, with lime and coriander.
Salsas
Fresh salsas, from a mild tomato salsa to something hotter.
Your questions about taco bar hire in Horton
How far is Horton from central London?
It is about 13 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you set up taco bars indoors in places like Horton?
Yes, if the venue allows outside caterers. We need a short route from where we park to the room, and space for the station and a queue.
Does the taco bar need the truck on site?
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.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Who looks after the taco bar?
Our staff set up the bar, keep the fillings hot and top up the dishes through service.
Is a taco bar right for a wedding?
A taco bar makes a relaxed, sociable wedding meal. Service is timed around speeches and photos. There is more in our taco bar guide.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
How much is a taco bar?
We quote for each taco bar, based on numbers, fillings, the venue and timings. For a price, tell us about it on our contact page.
What we need at the venue
We’ll be honest if a space won’t work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- A short, clear path for carrying the bar in
- Shelter from rain and sun for an outdoor bar
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we offer
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Salsas and guacamole
- Tortilla chips
- Vegan fillings
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Two to four fillings
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
- Ensure one filling is vegan
- Put allergies in writing for us
- Tell us when guests should eat
Dishes are labelled, with allergen information available at the table.
Extra salsas, from mild to hot, let guests choose their own heat.
Working with your venue
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Horton? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
How the day works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our truck or trailer, and serve without fuss. In Horton, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is normally served in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- Together we choose what goes on the bar.
- We confirm the table spot and where we will unload.
- Our staff set out the bar and guests build their own tacos.
- We clear the bar away after service.
How to prepare
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready

Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- What the venue already provides
- The menu you choose
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- The length of service
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Your menu ideas
- Where the event is
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Diets and allergies you know about
Not sure what you need yet? That’s fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will make suggestions. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.
Horton: venues, access and set-up
