Taco bar hire for your event in Lower Earley
We bring taco bars to events in and around Lower Earley: from barns and marquees to gardens, halls and offices. At marquee parties and wedding meals, we can serve guacamole, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and a build-your-own taco bar and more.
In a smaller place like Lower Earley, a taco bar in your garden or a local hall keeps things simple. We set up and run the station, and guests choose their own fillings and toppings. Tell us where we can park and unload. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Working with your venue
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.

Evenings in Lower Earley stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm. Once it gets dark, guests need to see what they’re adding to their tacos.

Your questions about taco bar hire in Lower Earley
Could you serve in Maiden Erlegh Local Nature Reserve?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Is Lower Earley close to London?
About 36 miles from central London.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not generally stop service from the truck or trailer. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Can you plan for allergies?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
How long do you serve for?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
How does a taco bar work?
Guests take a plate and fill their tortillas from the dishes on the bar. We run the bar from set-up to pack-down.
Can you set up where a truck can’t get in?
The taco bar can sit next to the truck or trailer, or in a spot of its own. Either way, we need to unload nearby and have the venue’s permission.
Can we have a taco bar at our wedding?
A taco bar works well for a relaxed wedding breakfast. Service is timed around speeches and photos. Read our taco bar guide for ideas.
