Taco bar hire in Plumpton, from our truck or trailer
A taco bar puts the whole spread on one table: warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Guests pick up a plate and build their own. It suits christenings and family parties and evening receptions, serving slow-cooked fillings kept hot, a build-your-own taco bar and burrito bowls.
For a rural spot like Plumpton, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we will confirm power and water with you. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

Plumpton: your questions answered
Will you travel to a small place like Plumpton?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Could you set up a taco bar in a hall near Plumpton?
We can, as long as the venue agrees. The station needs room for a queue, and we need to park and unload close to the door.
How much space do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
How many guests can a taco bar serve?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers and we will plan the bar around them.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
