Taco bar hire for Nettlebed events
How our taco bar hire works in Nettlebed
The toppings are where guests get creative: pickled onions, coriander, lime, shredded lettuce and cheese. Popular choices include a build-your-own taco bar, guacamole and burrito bowls, and it’s a good fit for working lunches and milestone birthdays.
In a hamlet or village like Nettlebed, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. Our staff set up the station and run it through service; tell us about access and parking. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field
- Your menu ideas
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
FAQs for Nettlebed
How far is Nettlebed from London?
Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
Yes, with the venue’s permission. We need a short route from where we park to the room, and space for the station and a queue.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a picture of the access and the space.
Who looks after the taco bar?
We run the station ourselves, so your hosts do not need to. When service ends, we clear it away.
How many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
Is the food very hot?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll be honest if a space will not work. What matters most:
- Permission from the venue for us to set up
- A clear area in front of the station
- A parking or loading spot near the serving area
