About the menu
Toppings
The toppings are where guests make each taco their own.
Salsas
Salsa lets everyone pick their own heat.
Taco bar hire in Ibsley, from our food truck or trailer
We can serve the taco bar next to the truck or trailer, or as a separate station. Where a vehicle cannot reach the serving spot, we unload nearby and set the table up there, with the venue’s agreement. It works well for team socials and christenings and family parties, with fresh salsas, pickled onions and toppings and burrito bowls.
Near Ibsley, a marquee or barn makes a good home for a taco bar. Our staff set up the station and run it through service. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:

Comparing your options
A taco bar and a truck serve the same food in different ways. From the truck, we put each order together; at the taco bar, guests do the building. Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.

What happens on the day
Once service is over, we pack up and leave our area tidy. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. Around midsummer it stays light in Ibsley until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:05pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Contact us with your date and headcount.
- We agree a menu that covers every diet.
- Nearer the date, we confirm timings and the serving spot.
- Service starts when your running order says.
- We clear our station when service ends.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
