Taco bar hire for your event in Ibthorpe
Our staff set up the taco bar and look after it through service: keeping the fillings hot, warming tortillas and topping up the bowls. Nobody from your side needs to lift a spoon. At team lunches and leaving dos, we can serve pickled onions and toppings, fresh salsas and slow-cooked fillings kept hot for your guests.
In a hamlet or village like Ibthorpe, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. We set up the station and our team runs it. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
How it works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. In Ibthorpe, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is normally served in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Get in touch with your date and headcount.
- We plan fillings and toppings around your guests’ diets.
- We fix timings with you and the venue.
- Service starts when your running order says.
- Once service is over, we pack away.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day

How we price taco bar hire
These are the factors that matter most:
- What the venue already provides
- Travel, parking and access
- How long we are needed on site
- Food, drinks or both
Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- The address or venue name
Still deciding on the menu? No problem: give us the basics about your event, and we will suggest a menu. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Comparing your options
Pizza is the usual crowd-pleaser, but a taco bar gives guests more say over what they eat. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
Why us?
- A menu built around your guests
- Service planned around your numbers
- Served fresh from our truck or trailer
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both

For planners, venues and organisers
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Ibthorpe: your questions answered
Is Ibthorpe close to London?
It’s about 61 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
Yes, with the venue’s permission. Tell us about the parking, the doors and the space for the station.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Do you need electricity?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
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.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.

We cover London and the South East, Hampshire included. See all areas.
