Taco bar hire for Kimbridge events
The process
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. Guests come up to order when service opens. Around midsummer it stays light in Kimbridge until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Start with your date, venue and guest numbers.
- We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.
- The venue confirms where the bar goes and where we park.
- Our staff set out the bar and guests build their own tacos.
- We clear the bar away after service.
Preparing for the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Give us a contact for the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers

About our taco bar hire in Kimbridge
A taco bar puts the whole spread on one table: tortillas kept warm, fillings kept hot, and bowls of salsa, guacamole and toppings. Guests pick up a plate and build their own. It works well for wedding evening food and christenings and family parties, with guacamole, warm corn and flour tortillas and pickled onions and toppings.
Somewhere as small as Kimbridge, 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, though we still need to unload within a short walk. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Kimbridge: your questions answered
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
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 in villages like Kimbridge?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
Is a taco bar suitable for a big group?
It depends on the event and the timings. As a guide, our bookings generally fall around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will check the licensing with you.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
