What taco bar hire costs
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How many guests we’re serving
- What’s on the menu
- Travel, parking and access
- Staff for serving and the bar
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- How we drive in and where we can park
- The address or venue name
- The date and rough timings
- Diets and allergies you know about
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, use our quote form.
How our taco bar hire works in Ockley
Taco bars suit wedding breakfasts, parties and office lunches alike. Guests build their plates quickly, so a crowd moves through steadily. For wedding breakfasts and christenings and family parties, we can serve fresh salsas, warm corn and flour tortillas and guacamole for your guests.
For a rural spot like Ockley, 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. We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Comparing your options
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen, waiting staff and fixed courses. For a taco bar, we need a serving spot, a nearby place to unload and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book. Comparing caterers?

Ockley questions
Which station should guests use for Ockley?
The closest is Ockley station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
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.
How is the food prepared?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
What should the venue provide?
Send us details of the venue and where you’d like the bar, and we will confirm what’s needed. The venue’s agreement is needed too.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
What is a build-your-own taco bar?
We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings on a serving table, and guests build their own tacos. We stay to keep everything hot and stocked.
Working with your venue
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
How it works
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our food truck or trailer, and get on with serving. In Ockley, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Start with the essentials: the date, venue, headcount and diets.
- You get a suggested taco-bar spread and a quote.
- Together we fix the spot for the taco bar and a nearby place for our vehicle.
- On the day our staff lay out the bar and keep it stocked while guests build their tacos.
- When service finishes, we clear the table and pack the vehicle.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
