Taco bar hire in New Barn, served fresh
A taco bar puts the whole spread on one table: tortillas kept warm, fillings kept hot, and bowls of salsa, guacamole and toppings. Guests pick up a plate and build their own. Popular choices include warm corn and flour tortillas, a build-your-own taco bar and slow-cooked fillings kept hot, and it suits leaving and retirement parties and wedding day food.
In and around New Barn, a taco bar works beside the truck or in a hall nearby. Where access is tight, the truck stays nearby and the station goes where your guests are. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
What taco bar hire costs
We’ll give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Distance and access to the venue
- How long we’re needed on site
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- What power and water the site has
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Where the event is
Still deciding on the menu? That’s fine: give us the basics about your event, and we will suggest a menu. To start, tell us about it on our contact page.
What happens on the day
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Around midsummer it stays light in New Barn until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Contact us with your date and headcount.
- We agree a menu that covers every diet.
- Nearer the date, we confirm timings and the serving spot.
- Service starts when your running order says.
- We clear our station when service ends.
Before we arrive
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
