About our taco bar hire in Rudgwick
The taco bar works for a wedding breakfast, a party or a working lunch. Building your own is quick, which keeps the line moving, and nobody waits long. It suits back-garden gatherings and wedding evening food, with slow-cooked fillings kept hot, fresh salsas and warm corn and flour tortillas.
For a rural spot like Rudgwick, 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 confirm power and water arrangements before the day. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Dietary needs and planning tips
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
- Include a vegan filling on the bar
- Ask the venue where we can park to unload

Dishes are labelled, with allergen information available at the table.
A wider range of salsas suits guests who like it mild and those who like it hot.

Questions from Rudgwick
Do you cater in villages like Rudgwick?
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.
Do you set up taco bars indoors in places like Rudgwick?
We can, as long as the venue agrees. The station needs room for a queue, and we need to park and unload close to the door.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
How long do you serve for?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
What is a build-your-own taco bar?
Guests take a plate and fill their tortillas from the dishes on the bar. We run the bar from set-up to pack-down.
Can the taco bar cater for special diets?
Keeping each dish separate makes mixed diets easier, though we can’t guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we’ll keep their options separate.
