How our taco bar hire works in Kingsdown
Taco bars suit wedding breakfasts, parties and office lunches alike. Guests build their plates quickly, so a crowd moves through steadily. We serve guacamole, burrito bowls and fresh salsas, and it is a good fit for marquee parties and summer garden parties.
In and around Kingsdown, a taco bar works beside the truck or in a hall nearby. Where access is tight, the truck stays nearby and the station goes where your guests are, as long as we can unload within a short walk. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.
What taco bar hire costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Travel, parking and access
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:

How the day works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A photo of the space helps. Winter evenings in Kingsdown close in by about 3:50pm, so set the station up where the lighting is good. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:15pm.
