Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
How our taco bar hire works in Lyford
The toppings are where guests get creative: pickled onions, coriander, lime, shredded lettuce and cheese. At wedding day food and team socials, we can serve guacamole, fresh salsas and burrito bowls for your guests.
Near Lyford, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we’ll confirm power and water with you. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

FAQs for Lyford
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you set up taco bars indoors in places like Lyford?
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.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, including Lyford.
Do you need power and water?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Can we have a taco bar at our wedding?
The taco bar can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. Timings are agreed with you and your venue, and guests build their own plates.
Is a taco bar good for vegans and gluten-free guests?
Fillings and toppings sit in separate dishes, which helps with mixed diets, though we cannot guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Let us know your numbers and space and we will recommend how to serve.
Do you do parties at home?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a picture and we’ll talk it through.

Taco bar hire or something else?
The difference between a taco bar and truck service is who builds the taco. From the truck, we put each order together; at the taco bar, guests do the building. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first

Indoors or under cover, the bar carries on whatever the weather, so plan somewhere sheltered if you can.
