Taco bar hire for your event in Pittswood
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. At birthday celebrations and leaving and retirement parties, we can serve guacamole, fresh salsas and burrito bowls for your guests.
In a hamlet or village like Pittswood, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. We set up the station and our team runs it. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.

Pittswood questions
Do you cater in villages like Pittswood?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
How far is Pittswood from London?
About 26 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is a taco bar right for a wedding?
A taco bar makes a relaxed, sociable wedding meal. We fit it around your speeches and photos. There’s more in our taco bar guide.
What if a vehicle can’t reach the serving spot?
It can go beside the truck or trailer, or somewhere a vehicle can’t reach. Either way, we need to unload nearby and have the venue’s permission.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Let us know your numbers and space and we will suggest the best set-up.
What do you need at the venue?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Can you come to a private house?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
How does taco bar hire work?
A serving table is laid with warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and each guest builds their own. We stay to keep everything hot and stocked.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Dietary needs and planning tips
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
A covered spot keeps the bar and guests dry if it rains, so plan somewhere sheltered if you can.
Book our drinks bar with the taco bar with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you.
What we need at the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- Details of power and water near the bar
- Space for a line of guests at the bar
- Space beside the truck or trailer if you are booking both
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Popular choices
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Vegan fillings
- Tortilla chips
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Two to four fillings
- Salsas and guacamole
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- What’s on the menu
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Travel, parking and access
- Guest numbers
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
