How our taco bar hire works in Lumley
Our taco bar travels to events across Lumley and the surrounding area: from barns and marquees to gardens, halls and offices. Popular choices include guacamole, fresh salsas and pickled onions and toppings, which works well for company parties and barn parties.
Somewhere as small as Lumley, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If the truck cannot get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Step by step
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. Around midsummer it stays light in Lumley until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is typically served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Start with the essentials: the date, venue, headcount and diets.
- We suggest fillings, salsas and toppings for the bar and send a quote.
- Together we fix the spot for the taco bar and a nearby place for our vehicle.
- We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and guests help themselves.
- After the last tacos, we clear the station away.
How to prepare

Popular choices
Toppings
Pickled onions, coriander, lime, lettuce and cheese, agreed with you.
Salsas
Guests add as much heat as they like.
Planning the serving area
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:
- A short, clear path for carrying the bar in
- A sheltered spot if we’re serving outside
- Power and water, which we confirm when you book
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.
Popular choices
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Two to four fillings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Vegan fillings
- Tortilla chips
Can I do a taco night myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
