How our taco bar hire works in Monk's Gate
You choose the fillings with us, such as pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, with a vegan filling like black bean and sweet potato or spiced mushroom. It works well for evening wedding receptions and company parties, serving slow-cooked fillings kept hot, a build-your-own taco bar and pickled onions and toppings.
For a rural spot like Monk's Gate, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we’ll confirm power and water with you. We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Catering for every guest
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
- Include a vegan filling on the bar
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Decide where the table goes before the day
If the schedule slips, tell us and we will hold everything hot until you’re ready.
Ask us whether a second station would help with big numbers, quoted for your event.
How the day works
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. In Monk's Gate, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Get in touch with your date and headcount.
- We plan fillings and toppings around your guests’ diets.
- Nearer the date, we confirm timings and the serving spot.
- Service starts when your running order says.
- We clear our station when service ends.
Getting ready for the day

- Find out what power and water are available

Your questions about taco bar hire in Monk's Gate
Could you serve in Leonardslee?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Do you set up taco bars indoors in places like Monk's Gate?
Yes, if the venue allows outside caterers. Tell us about the parking, the doors and the space for the station.
Are plates and napkins included?
That is confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we will talk it through.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will talk licensing through with you.
Is a taco bar good for vegans and gluten-free guests?
We plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
Can you keep it mild?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Who clears up?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll talk it through.
What we need at the venue
Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Space for a serving table on level ground
- A short, clear path for carrying the bar in
- Power and water, which we confirm when you book
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

- Corn and flour tortillas
