Dietary needs and planning tips
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Choose at least one vegan filling
- Ask the venue where we can park to unload
- Fit the bar into your running order
If the schedule slips, tell us and we will hold everything hot until you’re ready.
Burrito bowls sit well on the bar for anyone avoiding tortillas.
About our taco bar hire in Penwood
Our taco bar travels to events across Penwood and the surrounding area: marquees, barns, gardens, halls and workplaces, wherever there is room for the table. For engagement parties and wedding evening food, we can serve a build-your-own taco bar, fresh salsas and burrito bowls for your guests.
Near Penwood, 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 cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Working with your venue
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

If you are celebrating after a service at a church like Church of St Michael Archangel, a hall close by could host a staffed taco bar, with the venue’s permission.
Questions to ask before you book
- The deposit and payment dates
- Plates and napkins, or nothing at all
- What the caterer needs from your venue
- Whether travel is included
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- How many guests we are serving
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Food, drinks or both
- How long we are needed on site
Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.

Step by step
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A picture of the space helps. A December taco bar in Penwood will be in the dark from about 4:00pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. In late June, the light holds until around 9:25pm.
- Begin with the date and headcount.
- We agree a menu that covers every diet.
- We fix timings with you and the venue.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- We clear our station when service ends.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Give us a contact for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches

DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Planning the serving area
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- Space beside the truck or trailer if you are booking both
- A level area for the taco-bar table
- A parking or loading spot near the serving area
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
On the menu in Penwood
- Vegan fillings
- Tortilla chips
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Two to four fillings

About the menu
Hot fillings

Your questions about taco bar hire in Penwood
How far is Penwood from central London?
About 56 miles from central London, and we cover it.
Do you cater in villages like Penwood?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Do you need power and water?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
How does taco bar hire work?
Each guest builds tacos from the fillings, salsas and toppings laid out. We run the bar from set-up to pack-down.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Can the taco bar cater for special diets?
Fillings and toppings sit in separate dishes, which helps with mixed diets, though we can’t guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we’ll talk it through.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
