About our taco bar hire in Newtown
You choose the fillings with us, perhaps carnitas, chicken tinga or birria, with a vegan filling like black bean and sweet potato or spiced mushroom. It works well for wedding breakfasts and family celebrations, serving fresh salsas, warm corn and flour tortillas and a build-your-own taco bar.
Near Newtown, a marquee or barn makes a good home for a taco bar. Our staff set up the station and run it through service. You’ll know what’s included before booking: menu, timings and any add-ons.

Newtown: your questions answered
Could you set up a taco bar in a hall near Newtown?
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 come to a seaside event near Newtown?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades generally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Is a taco bar right for a wedding?
A taco bar works well for a relaxed wedding breakfast. We fit it around your speeches and photos. There’s more in our taco bar guide.
What access do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
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.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, including Newtown.
How does a taco bar work?
A serving table is laid with warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and guests build their own tacos. Our staff keep it hot and topped up.

The menu, item by item
Warm tortillas
Corn and flour tortillas, warmed through in batches so there’s always one ready. The corn ones suit gluten-free guests.
Toppings
The toppings are where guests make each taco their own.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Parking and the route in
- Guest numbers
Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
Details that help
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- The venue or postcode
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
Working with your venue
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
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, and handles allergen information for you.
Planning the serving area
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- Permission from the venue for us to set up
- Space beside the truck or trailer if you are booking both
For somewhere as remote as Newtown, early notice helps us plan the trip, the route in and power.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.
Popular choices
- Two to four fillings
- Corn and flour tortillas
