Taco bar hire in Penton Mewsey, from our food truck or trailer
Add burrito bowls, loaded nachos or quesadillas if you’d like more choice. Our drinks bar can be booked with it too. It suits retirement parties and team socials, with burrito bowls, fresh salsas and warm corn and flour tortillas.
Near Penton Mewsey, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Set out seating near the bar
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Pick the spot for the taco bar in advance
- Let us know about anyone who is coeliac
A covered spot keeps the bar and guests dry if it rains, so plan somewhere sheltered if you can.
Our truck or trailer can serve later in the day, after the taco bar.
Before you choose a spot
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Space for a line of guests at the bar
- Cover overhead if the bar is outdoors
- A clear route from the vehicle to the serving spot
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
What we offer
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Vegan fillings
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Tortilla chips
- Two to four fillings

Step by step
On the day, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. We’re ready to serve at the agreed time, so everything runs to your schedule.

Planning help
Is taco bar hire right for your event?
Plated meals depend on a kitchen and a team of waiting staff. 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. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for taco bar hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.

Can I do a taco night myself?
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, with allergen information for every dish.

Toppings
Pickled onions, coriander, lime, lettuce and cheese, agreed with you.

Can you keep it mild?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.

Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
