How our taco bar hire works in Marston
Mixed diets are simple at a taco bar, as fillings and toppings are kept in separate dishes. There are vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, plus allergen information for every dish. For staff parties and milestone birthdays, we can serve guacamole, pickled onions and toppings and warm corn and flour tortillas for your guests.
In a hamlet or village like Marston, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. Our staff set up the station and run it through service. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer.

Common questions in Marston
Do you come out to small places like Marston?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Nicholas?
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.
What do you need at the venue?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll suggest the best set-up.
Do you stay to run the taco bar?
We set up and stay to keep the bar hot and stocked.
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.
How spicy is the food?
That’s your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
That depends on your timings and the event. As a guide, our bookings typically fall around 50 to 400 guests.
Planning for every diet
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Make sure guests have somewhere to sit
- Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Tell us when guests should eat
Each dish is labelled, and allergen information is kept at the bar.
Nachos to share can keep guests going before the bar opens.
