Taco bar hire in Pett, served fresh
We run the taco bar ourselves: warming tortillas, keeping fillings hot and refilling the salsas as they go. Your hosts can stay with their guests. It suits evening receptions and engagement and anniversary parties, serving fresh salsas, burrito bowls and warm corn and flour tortillas.
Near Pett, 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 will confirm power and water with you. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Planning for every diet
We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Pick the spot for the taco bar in advance
- Give us separate numbers for children
Indoors or under cover, the bar carries on whatever the weather, so plan somewhere sheltered if you can.
A wider range of salsas suits guests who like it mild and those who like it hot.

The process
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a picture of the space if you are unsure. A December taco bar in Pett will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so set the station up where the lighting is good. In late June, the light holds until around 9:15pm.
- Start with the essentials: the date, venue, headcount and diets.
- We plan the fillings and toppings with you and quote for them.
- Before the day, we confirm the serving spot, unloading, power and water with the venue.
- We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and guests help themselves.
- Once guests have eaten, we take down the bar and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
