How our taco bar hire works in Rock-a-Nore
We bring taco bars to events in and around Rock-a-Nore: from barns and marquees to gardens, halls and offices, wherever there is room for the table. It suits garden parties and engagement and anniversary parties, serving slow-cooked fillings kept hot, warm corn and flour tortillas and guacamole.
For a place the size of Rock-a-Nore, a garden or a hall nearby can suit a taco bar. We set up and run the station, and guests choose their own fillings and toppings. Let us know about the drive and parking. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Common questions in Rock-a-Nore
Could you serve our guests after a service at Ebenezer Particular Baptist Chapel?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Could you come to a seaside event near Rock-a-Nore?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
How long do you serve for?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
What do you need at the venue?
Send us details of the venue and where you’d like the bar, and we’ll check it works. We also need the venue’s permission.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
What does a taco bar cost?
We don’t publish set prices, as each booking is different. Share your plans and you will get a quote. Our guide to Mexican catering costs may help.
Diets, allergies and planning
Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included. To get it right:
- Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
- Set out seating near the bar
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first
- Choose at least one vegan filling
If speeches or timings run over, we keep the fillings hot and start when you are ready.
Our food truck or trailer can serve later in the day, after the taco bar, quoted with the rest.
Why choose taco bar hire in Rock-a-Nore?
A full taco bar looks inviting: salsas, guacamole and toppings laid out together make an easy centrepiece.
A truck or trailer works for big and small events alike. Common bookings include:
- Barn parties
- Wedding day food
- Leaving and retirement parties
- Engagement parties
Before you plan a taco bar in Linton Gardens, find out who manages it, as catering and unloading there both need their agreement.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Guest numbers
- Parking and the route in
- Food, drinks or both
- What the venue already provides
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- How we drive in and where we can park
- A photo of the space, if it is a garden or field
- The address or venue name
- The date and time of the event
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, location, guest numbers and diets. Contact us for a quote: just fill in our quote form.
About the menu
Vegan fillings
Vegan guests get a proper filling of their own.
Warm tortillas
Every taco starts with a warm tortilla. We warm them as the bar needs them through service.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Throwing a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about access, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
Planning the serving area
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Space for a line of guests at the bar
- A flat spot for the taco-bar station
- A parking or loading spot near the serving area
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
What we offer
- Vegan fillings
- Tortilla chips
- Two to four fillings
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Salsas and guacamole
