How our taco bar hire works in Rockford
A taco bar suits mixed diets well, because every filling and topping sits in its own dish. We plan vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, plus allergen information for every dish. At working lunches and wedding day food, we can serve burrito bowls, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and a build-your-own taco bar.
For a rural spot like Rockford, 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 turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
What’s on the menu
Hot fillings
Slow-cooked fillings kept hot on the bar, such as carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria.
Warm tortillas
Corn and flour tortillas, warmed through in batches so there’s always one ready. The corn ones suit gluten-free guests.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.

Dietary needs and planning tips
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Confirm any allergies to us by email
- Choose at least one vegan filling
- Count children separately
- Collect dietary needs with your replies
Staff stay at the taco bar to refill bowls and answer questions.
Loaded nachos make a good starter while the bar is set up.
The process
When we arrive, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. We are ready to serve at the agreed time, so everything runs to your schedule. Around midsummer it stays light in Rockford until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:05pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Start with your date, venue and guest numbers.
- Together we choose what goes on the bar.
- The venue confirms where the bar goes and where we park.
- Our staff set out the bar and guests build their own tacos.
- When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
How to prepare
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Find out what power and water are available
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day

Questions from Rockford
Will you travel to a small place like Rockford?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we will suggest the best set-up.
What should the venue provide?
Tell us about the venue and the spot you have in mind, and we’ll check it works. We also need the venue’s permission.
How does a taco bar work?
A serving table is laid with warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and each guest builds their own. We stay to keep everything hot and stocked.
What does a taco bar cost?
Every taco bar is quoted for individually, depending on guests, menu, venue and timings. Contact us for a quote.
Where do you cater?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
How long do you serve for?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
Space, access and the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- A parking or loading spot near the serving area
- A clear area in front of the station
- Permission from the venue for us to set up
