How our taco bar hire works in Newington
Our staff set up the taco bar and look after it through service: warming tortillas, keeping fillings hot and refilling the salsas as they go. Nobody from your side needs to lift a spoon. At company parties and team lunches, we can serve guacamole, pickled onions and toppings and slow-cooked fillings kept hot for your guests.
For a rural spot like Newington, 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 confirm power and water arrangements before the day. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Newington: your questions answered
Do you set up taco bars indoors in places like Newington?
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.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Giles?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Do you cook on site?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will suggest mild options.
Do you come to Newington?
We do. Newington is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
What if a vehicle cannot reach the serving spot?
The bar can stand on its own, away from the truck or trailer. We still need somewhere close to unload our vehicle, and the venue has to agree.
Do you need electricity?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Make sure one filling is vegan
- Send us allergy details in writing
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
- Check where our vehicle can unload
Indoors or under cover, the bar carries on whatever the weather.
Loaded nachos make a good starter while the bar is set up.
Organising for someone else?
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

About the menu
Toppings
The toppings are where guests make each taco their own.
Salsas
Fresh salsas, from a mild tomato salsa to something hotter.
Should I do it myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
