If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

About our taco bar hire in Houghton Green
The toppings are where guests get creative: pickled onions, coriander, lime, shredded lettuce and cheese. It works well for wedding breakfasts and milestone birthdays, serving burrito bowls, guacamole and warm corn and flour tortillas.
Somewhere as small as Houghton Green, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set 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.

Should I do it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our truck or trailer, and get on with serving. A December taco bar in Houghton Green will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:15pm.
- Start with the essentials: the date, venue, headcount and diets.
- You get a suggested taco-bar spread and a quote.
- Before the day, we confirm the serving spot, unloading, power and water with the venue.
- On the day our staff lay out the bar and keep it stocked while guests build their tacos.
- When service finishes, we clear the table and pack the vehicle.
