How our taco bar hire works in Picket Piece
We bring taco bars to events in and around Picket Piece: from barns and marquees to gardens, halls and offices. On the menu are a build-your-own taco bar, guacamole and warm corn and flour tortillas, and it suits back-garden gatherings and barn parties.
For a place the size of Picket Piece, a garden or a hall nearby can suit a taco bar. We set up and run the station, and guests choose their own fillings and toppings. Tell us where we can park and unload. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- A sheltered spot if we are serving outside
- The venue’s or landowner’s agreement
- Room nearby to park and unload our vehicle

Your questions about taco bar hire in Picket Piece
How far is Picket Piece from central London?
About 61 miles from central London.
Which station should guests use for Picket Piece?
The closest is Andover station, roughly 2.4 miles away.
How much does taco bar hire cost?
We do not publish set prices, as each booking is different. Share your plans and you’ll get a quote. Our guide to Mexican catering costs may help.
Do you do a taco bar?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
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 parties at home?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Is a taco bar right for a wedding?
The taco bar can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. We agree the timings with your venue.
Is the taco bar staffed?
The taco bar is served from a table or station by our staff, so you don’t need helpers. We pack it away afterwards.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
- Confirm any allergies to us by email
- Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
- Include a vegan filling on the bar
Fillings are kept hot and tortillas warmed in batches.
Ask us about plates, napkins and cutlery and we’ll confirm what’s possible in your quote.
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
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.
