Do you have options for kids?

Can you keep it mild?
That’s your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.

There are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
How many guests can a taco bar serve?
Truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Share your headcount and we will size the bar to suit.
What is a build-your-own taco bar?
A serving table is laid with warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and each guest builds their own. Our staff keep it hot and topped up.

Taco bar hire for your event in Puddledock
The toppings are where guests get creative: pickled onions, coriander, lime, shredded lettuce and cheese, agreed with you in advance. On the menu are fresh salsas, warm corn and flour tortillas and burrito bowls, and it suits family get-togethers and wedding meals.
In a hamlet or village like Puddledock, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. Our staff set up the station and run it through service. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
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.

Taco bar hire in Puddledock: local tips

How the day works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A photo of the space helps. In Puddledock, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Contact us with your date and headcount.
- We agree a menu that covers every diet.
- We fix timings with you and the venue.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- We clear our station when service ends.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
