Taco bar hire in Plaxtol, from our food truck or trailer
The toppings are where guests get creative: lime wedges, coriander, pickled onions, cheese and crema, agreed with you in advance. Popular choices include a build-your-own taco bar, warm corn and flour tortillas and fresh salsas, and it’s a good fit for staff parties and wedding meals.
For a rural spot like Plaxtol, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we will confirm power and water with you. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.

Toppings
The toppings are where guests make each taco their own, and dairy-free choices are kept apart.

Taco bar hire or something else?
A taco bar and a truck serve the same food in different ways. From the truck, we put each order together; at the taco bar, guests do the building. Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you can choose what you need.
Why book with us
- Allergen information for every dish
- A menu agreed with you
- Set-up planned with you and your venue
- Fast service, even with a queue

Common questions in Plaxtol
How far is Plaxtol from London?
Roughly 24 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it.
Could you set up a taco bar in a hall near Plaxtol?
Yes, with the venue’s permission. Tell us about the parking, the doors and the space for the station.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
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. Send us a picture and we’ll talk it through.
Who looks after the taco bar?
We set up and stay to keep the bar hot and stocked.
How much is a food truck for an event?
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
What should the venue provide?
Room for the table and a queue, plus a nearby place to unload. We confirm power and water when you book.
