Taco bar hire for Preston events
What taco bar hire costs
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- What the venue already provides
- How many guests we’re serving
- Timings and hours
- Food, drinks or both
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- What power and water the site has
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. To get started, send a quick message through our quote form.
How our taco bar hire works in Preston
Truck and trailer bookings typically suit around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers and we’ll plan the taco bar around them. On the menu are slow-cooked fillings kept hot, pickled onions and toppings and burrito bowls, which works well for wedding evening food and milestone birthdays.
In a hamlet or village like Preston, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. We set up the station and our team runs it. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.
Preston questions
Which station should guests use for Preston?
Adisham station, about 4.3 miles south of the centre.
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
Yes, with the venue’s permission. Tell us about the parking, the doors and the space for the station.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
What access do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
How does a taco bar work?
Guests take a plate and fill their tortillas from the dishes on the bar. We run the bar from set-up to pack-down.
When do you arrive?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
Is the taco bar staffed?
The taco bar is served from a table or station by our staff, so you do not need helpers. We pack it away afterwards.
Does the taco bar need the truck on site?
The bar can stand on its own, away from the truck or trailer. We still need somewhere close to unload our vehicle, and the venue has to agree.

Taco bars for events around Preston

Before you plan a taco bar in Grove Ferry Picnic Area, find out who manages it, as catering and unloading there both need their agreement. Historic houses near Preston include Goodnestone Park (4 miles south). Estates and listed houses set their own rules for caterers, so check where a taco bar station and our vehicle would be permitted before booking.
Wherever your event is in CT3, we can bring taco bar hire to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Local streets include The Street, The Forstal and Park Lane; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park.

Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
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.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Include a dietary question on your invitations
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Decide where the table goes before the day
- Check where our vehicle can unload
We get there early enough to unload, lay out the table and heat everything through.
Add burrito bowls for guests who’d rather skip tortillas.
What happens on the day
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can spend time with your guests. Winter evenings in Preston close in by about 3:50pm, so set the station up where the lighting is good. In late June, the light holds until around 9:15pm.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- Together we choose what goes on the bar.
- The venue confirms where the bar goes and where we park.
- On the day, guests help themselves while we keep the bar stocked.
- When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Name one person we can ask on the day
