Taco bar hire for your event in Leigh
Our staff set up the taco bar and look after it through service: warming tortillas, keeping fillings hot and refilling the salsas as they go. Your hosts can stay with their guests. Popular choices include pickled onions and toppings, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and fresh salsas, which works well for team socials and marquee parties.
In a hamlet or village like Leigh, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. Our staff set up the station and run it through service. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Should I do it myself?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
What’s on the menu
Vegan fillings
A vegan filling sits on the bar with the rest, not an afterthought.
Hot fillings
A few fillings give guests plenty of choice, including a vegan one. You choose them with us.
Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
- Plan the taco bar around speeches and timings
- Send us allergy details in writing
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
A covered spot keeps the bar and guests dry if it rains.
Book our drinks bar with the taco bar with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Events we cater in Leigh
Guests choose exactly what goes on their plate.
Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Common bookings include:
- Back-garden gatherings
- Leaving dos
- Working lunches
- Wedding day food
When the service is at a church such as Church of St Bartholomew, the taco bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church.

What happens on the day
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive and set up, service opens at the agreed time, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. In Leigh, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is typically served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Begin with the date and headcount.
- We agree a menu that covers every diet.
- Nearer the date, we confirm timings and the serving spot.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- We clear our station when service ends.
Before we arrive
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely

Is taco bar hire right for your event?
Pizza is the usual crowd-pleaser, but a taco bar lets every guest design their own plate. There is no one-size-fits-all price for taco bar hire. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.

If people are travelling in by rail, the nearest station is Betchworth station, about 2.9 miles north. With the Surrey Hills National Landscape about 5 miles away at most, a countryside taco bar is an option from Leigh. Rural venues may limit vehicles, so ask where we can park and unload.

Common questions in Leigh
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
We can, as long as the venue agrees. The station needs room for a queue, and we need to park and unload close to the door.
Is Leigh close to London?
About 21 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What does a taco bar cost?
There is no price list, because no two events are the same. Share your plans and you will get a quote. See what Mexican catering costs for background.
Do you have dairy-free options?
We can. We offer dairy-free options.
Can you keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
How do you handle dietary needs at the taco bar?
Keeping each dish separate makes mixed diets easier, though we can’t guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
Do you cover Leigh?
Yes, we do. Leigh is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
