Taco bar hire in Riseden
About our taco bar hire in Riseden
We run the taco bar ourselves: warming tortillas, keeping fillings hot and refilling the salsas as they go. Your hosts can stay with their guests. It suits engagement and anniversary parties and wedding evening food, with pickled onions and toppings, burrito bowls and warm corn and flour tortillas.
Somewhere as small as Riseden, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If the truck cannot get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, though we still need to unload within a short walk. We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.

The process
We work to your timings. If things run behind, tell us and we’ll adjust the start of service where we can. A December taco bar in Riseden will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. In late June, the light holds until around 9:15pm.

- You get a suggested taco-bar menu and a quote.
- We check power, water and access with your venue.
- We arrive, unload and lay out warm tortillas, fillings and toppings.

Why choose taco bar hire in Riseden?
A sandwich platter is easy to order but rarely remembered. Warm tortillas and hot fillings give a lunch more to talk about. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why us?
- A menu agreed with you
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- A quote that sets out what’s included
- Everything served fresh from the hatch

Riseden questions
Do you come out to small places like Riseden?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
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.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Do you cook on site?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
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.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
That’s confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we will talk it through.
Can you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. For alcohol, we will talk licensing through with you and your venue.
