Taco bar hire in Moortown
Taco bar hire in Moortown, served fresh
Toppings make the bar: pickled onions, coriander, lime, shredded lettuce and cheese, agreed with you in advance. On the menu are fresh salsas, guacamole and warm corn and flour tortillas, and it suits summer garden parties and leaving and retirement parties.
Somewhere as small as Moortown, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.

Moortown: your questions answered
Could you set up a taco bar in a hall near Moortown?
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.
Do you cater in villages like Moortown?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Do you cook on site?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- Easy access from where we unload to the table
- A clear area in front of the station
- The venue’s or landowner’s agreement
Out-of-the-way places like Moortown take a little more planning, so let us know about tracks, gates and power in good time.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
