Taco bar hire in Parkgate, served fresh
With a taco bar, everything is laid out in one place: tortillas kept warm, fillings kept hot, and bowls of salsa, guacamole and toppings. Each guest takes a plate and fills it their way. We serve burrito bowls, warm corn and flour tortillas and a build-your-own taco bar, and it’s a good fit for garden parties and leaving dos.
Near Parkgate, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.
For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.
About the menu
Hot fillings
Slow-cooked fillings kept hot on the bar, perhaps chicken tinga, birria or carnitas.

Dietary needs and planning tips
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Fit the bar into your running order
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
- Set out seating near the bar
Fillings are kept hot and tortillas warmed in batches, so the bar stays fresh from the first plate to the last.
Nachos to share can keep guests going before the bar opens.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
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.
Events we cater in Parkgate
The bar becomes a meeting point: people chat about salsas and fillings while they build.
These are some of the occasions we serve:
- Wedding evening food
- Barn and marquee parties
- Birthday parties
- Wedding day food
Before you plan a taco bar in Newdigate Brickworks, find out who manages it, as catering and unloading there both need their agreement.
