Taco bar hire in New Pound, from our food truck or trailer
Taco bars suit wedding breakfasts, parties and office lunches alike. Building your own is quick, which keeps the line moving, and nobody waits long. At christenings and family parties and wedding meals, we’ll put together a menu of fresh salsas, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and a build-your-own taco bar and more.
For a rural spot like New Pound, 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 plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. Guests come up to order when service opens. From late May to late September, sunset in New Pound moves from about 8:50pm to 7:00pm. Let us know if an outdoor station will run after dark, and we will talk about lighting.
- Contact us 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.
- Once service is over, we pack away.

Common questions in New Pound
Is New Pound close to London?
About 25 miles from central London, and we cover it.
Do you come out to small places like New Pound?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Do you take everything away?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.

Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

Staff stay at the taco bar to refill bowls and answer questions about fillings and allergens.

Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- What you’d like on the menu
- The address or venue name
- A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.
