Taco bar hire in Luton, served fresh
Our staff set up the taco bar and look after it through service: keeping the fillings hot, warming tortillas and topping up the bowls. Your hosts can stay with their guests. At evening wedding receptions and barn and marquee parties, we will put together a menu of guacamole, fresh salsas and warm corn and flour tortillas.
Around Luton, a taco bar can stand beside our truck on a drive or lawn. If the truck can’t reach the garden, we park as close as we can and set the station up where your guests are. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
Questions from Luton
How far is Luton from central London?
About 29 miles from central London, and we cover it.
Could you serve in Gillingham Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Can guests build tacos at a wedding breakfast?
A taco bar works well for a relaxed wedding breakfast. Service is timed around speeches and photos. There’s more in our taco bar guide.
Who clears up?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Can the taco bar cater for special diets?
Fillings and toppings sit in separate dishes, which helps with mixed diets, but we can’t promise an allergen-free kitchen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
How much does taco bar hire cost in Luton?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.

A vegan filling sits on the bar with the rest.
Comparing your options

For event organisers in Luton
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
How the day works
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Winter evenings in Luton close in by about 3:50pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Send us your date, where the taco bar will go, numbers and dietary needs.
- We plan the fillings and toppings with you and quote for them.
- Before the day, we confirm the serving spot, unloading, power and water with the venue.
- On the day our staff lay out the bar and keep it stocked while guests build their tacos.
- After the last tacos, we clear the station away.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Find out what power and water are available
