What taco bar hire costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- The length of service
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- How many staff you need
- Your choice of food and drinks
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- What power and water the site has
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Where the event is
- The date and rough timings
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, tell us about it on our contact page.
Taco bar hire in Saddlescombe, served fresh
Our taco bar travels to events across Saddlescombe and the surrounding area: from barns and marquees to gardens, halls and offices, wherever there’s room for the table. Popular choices include slow-cooked fillings kept hot, a build-your-own taco bar and fresh salsas, and it’s a good fit for garden parties and family get-togethers.
In a small place like Saddlescombe, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. 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 arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Taco bar hire or something else?
If you want food that feels sociable but still well run, a taco bar suits events well. There is no one-size-fits-all price for taco bar hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

- Vegan fillings
- Two to four fillings
- Pickled onions and toppings
