Taco bar hire in Scarborough
Catering for every guest
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Check where our vehicle can unload
- Put guests with serious allergies in touch with us early
- Decide where the table goes before the day
- Fit the bar into your running order
Once guests have eaten, we clear the table and pack up.
Book our drinks bar with the taco bar for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you.
How our taco bar hire works in Scarborough
Taco bars suit wedding breakfasts, parties and office lunches alike. Guests build their plates quickly, so a crowd moves through steadily, and nobody waits long. It works well for evening receptions and team socials, with warm corn and flour tortillas, fresh salsas and burrito bowls.
Near Scarborough, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
For event organisers in Scarborough
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Hosting a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about access, and we’ll let you know if it’s a good fit.
How it compares
A taco bar and a truck serve the same food in different ways. At the hatch, we make each order; at the taco bar, guests do the building. Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Can I do a taco night myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.

Common questions in Scarborough
Is Scarborough close to London?
Roughly 27 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is it possible to have you in Holborough Marshes?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
What does taco bar hire cost?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually need. Tell us your date and numbers and we’ll reply with a quote.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
Does the taco bar need the truck on site?
It can go beside the truck or trailer, or somewhere a vehicle can’t reach. We need a nearby place to unload, plus the venue’s agreement.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar.
How do you handle dietary needs at the taco bar?
We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
Can you do dairy-free food?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we’ll tell you which dishes contain milk.
Perfect for your event in Scarborough
The bar can go where a vehicle cannot, like a barn, courtyard or hall, if the venue agrees.
We can help if you’re planning any of the following:
- Working lunches
- Family get-togethers
- Marquee parties
- Birthday celebrations
Guests leaving a church like St Mary's Church could head to a nearby hall or garden where the taco bar is ready.

About the menu
Warm tortillas
Every taco starts with a warm tortilla. We warm them as the bar needs them.
Guacamole
No taco bar is complete without guacamole, so we keep it topped up.
How the day works
On the day, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, planned around your event. A December taco bar in Scarborough will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so set the station up where the lighting is good. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.

- We plan fillings and toppings around your guests’ diets.
- We fix timings with you and the venue.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- Once service is over, we pack away.
