Taco bar hire for Nob's Crook events
For event organisers in Nob's Crook
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Taco bar hire in Nob's Crook, served fresh
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. Your hosts can stay with their guests. We serve fresh salsas, warm corn and flour tortillas and burrito bowls, which works well for office lunches and barn and marquee parties.
In a small place like Nob's Crook, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Questions from Nob's Crook
Is Nob's Crook close to London?
About 63 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
Yes, with the venue’s permission. We need a short route from where we park to the room, and space for the station and a queue.
Is a taco bar suitable for a big group?
Our service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are looked at case by case. Share your headcount and we’ll size the bar to suit.
How does taco bar hire work?
We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings on a serving table, and each guest builds their own. Our staff keep it hot and topped up.
What do you need at the venue?
Room for the table and a queue, plus a nearby place to unload. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we’ll keep their options separate.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Can you keep it mild?
It is up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.

How we price taco bar hire
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- The length of service
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Parking and the route in
- Serving staff
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Getting an accurate quote
These details help us quote quickly:
- The venue or postcode
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The date and rough timings
- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, menu ideas and access. To send your details, send a quick message through our quote form.
Planning the serving area
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- A level area for the taco-bar table
- A clear area in front of the station
- Cover overhead if the bar is outdoors
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Menu ideas
- Two to four fillings
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Salsas and guacamole
- Tortilla chips
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Vegan fillings
Dietary needs and planning tips
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Plan the taco bar around speeches and timings
- Put allergies in writing for us
- Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
- Flag any guest with coeliac disease
We get there early enough to unload, lay out the table and heat everything through.
