Taco bar hire for your event in Overton
The bar can stand beside our truck or trailer, or on its own. Where a vehicle can’t reach the serving spot, we unload nearby and set the table up there, as long as the venue agrees. We serve warm corn and flour tortillas, burrito bowls and slow-cooked fillings kept hot, and it’s a good fit for barn parties and wedding day food.
In and around Overton, a taco bar works beside the truck or in a hall nearby. Where access is tight, the truck stays nearby and the station goes where your guests are. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.
How it compares
A taco bar and a truck serve the same food in different ways. At the hatch, we make each order; at the taco bar, guests do the building. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
Why us?
- A menu agreed with you
- Allergen information for every dish
- Everything served fresh from the hatch
- Fast service, even with a queue

For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
Planning for every diet
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first

If speeches or timings run over, we keep the fillings hot and start when you are ready.
Ask us whether a second station would help with big numbers.

Can you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.

It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a picture and we will talk it through.

A level spot for the serving table, room to queue and somewhere close to unload our vehicle. We confirm power and water when you book.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.
