Taco bar hire in Ipsden, from our truck or trailer
Mixed diets are simple at a taco bar, because every filling and topping sits in its own dish. There are vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. It works well for evening wedding receptions and leaving dos, serving burrito bowls, guacamole and warm corn and flour tortillas.
Near Ipsden, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we will confirm power and water with you. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

Planning for every diet
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Plan the taco bar around speeches and timings
- Collect dietary needs with your replies
- Decide where the table goes before the day
- Set out seating near the bar
We warm tortillas in batches and keep the fillings hot.
Add burrito bowls for guests who’d rather skip tortillas.
Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Planning the serving area
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Space for a serving table on level ground
- Shelter from rain and sun for an outdoor bar
- A clear area in front of the station
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

How the day works
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. In Ipsden, 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 usually served in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Contact us with your date and headcount.
- We plan fillings and toppings around your guests’ diets.
- We fix timings with you and the venue.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- Once service is over, we pack away.
Before we arrive
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park

It’s about 43 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.

Send us details of the venue and where you’d like the bar, and we’ll check it works. We also need the venue’s permission.
