Taco bar hire in Newtown, from our food truck or trailer
Mixed diets are simple at a taco bar, as fillings and toppings are kept in separate dishes. We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. It works well for team lunches and family get-togethers, with burrito bowls, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and fresh salsas.
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. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, with allergen information for everything we serve.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll be honest if a space will not work. What matters most:
- A spot next to the truck or trailer when both are booked
- A clear area in front of the station
- Details of power and water near the bar
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Questions to ask before booking
- How late numbers can change
- Where to see their hygiene rating
- Space, access, power and water needs
- What the price includes, item by item
Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Popular choices
Warm tortillas
Every taco starts with a warm tortilla. We keep a steady supply going through service.
Salsas
Salsa lets everyone pick their own heat.
Dietary needs and planning tips
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
- Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Let us know about anyone who is coeliac
If speeches or timings run over, we keep the fillings hot and start when you are ready.
Add burrito bowls for guests who’d rather skip tortillas.

Questions from Newtown
Will you travel to a small place like Newtown?
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.

It is about 24 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.

Keeping each dish separate makes mixed diets easier, though we cannot guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Can you set up where a truck can’t get in?
The taco bar can be served from a table or station away from the truck. We still need to park our vehicle nearby to unload, and the venue’s agreement.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll recommend how to serve.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Our truck and trailer service generally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
