How our taco bar hire works in Platt's Heath
Mixed diets are simple at a taco bar, because every filling and topping sits in its own dish. There are vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, plus allergen information for every dish. It works well for company parties and back-garden gatherings, with guacamole, warm corn and flour tortillas and pickled onions and toppings.
In a small place like Platt's Heath, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, though we still need to unload within a short walk. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How the day works
Your timings come first. If things run behind, tell us and we’ll adjust the start of service where we can. In Platt's Heath, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is generally served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Tell us the date, the venue, how many guests and any diets.
- We suggest fillings, salsas and toppings for the bar and send a quote.
- We agree where the table goes and where our vehicle can unload.
- We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and guests help themselves.
- When service finishes, we clear the table and pack the vehicle.
How to prepare
