Taco bar hire in Howt Green
Taco bar hire for your event in Howt Green
We can serve the taco bar next to the truck or trailer, or as a separate station. Where a vehicle can’t reach the serving spot, we unload nearby and set the table up there, with the venue’s agreement. Popular choices include pickled onions and toppings, burrito bowls and slow-cooked fillings kept hot, and it’s a good fit for working lunches and retirement parties.
In a hamlet or village like Howt Green, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. We set up the station and our team runs it. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
Planners, venues and businesses
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Plan the taco bar around speeches and timings
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Set out seating near the bar
Dishes are labelled, with allergen information available at the table.
For larger groups, ask about a second serving point.
Before you choose a spot
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- A parking or loading spot near the serving area
- Room for the bar alongside the vehicle, if booked together
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.
What we offer
- Two to four fillings
- Tortilla chips
- Salsas and guacamole
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Vegan fillings
- Corn and flour tortillas
How we price taco bar hire
We will give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- The length of service
- Distance and access to the venue
- Whether you need disposables
- Your choice of food and drinks
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- A picture of where we’d park
- Expected numbers
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. Contact us for a quote: just use our quote form.

What happens on the day

Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
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.
FAQs for Howt Green
How far is Howt Green from central London?
It’s about 36 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you set up taco bars indoors in places like Howt Green?
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.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are looked at case by case. Tell us your numbers and we’ll plan the bar around them.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar.
How long are you on site?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
Can the taco bar cater for special diets?
Keeping each dish separate makes mixed diets easier, but we can’t promise an allergen-free kitchen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Who clears up?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
