Taco bar hire for Shipley Bridge events
Planners, venues and businesses
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
About our taco bar hire in Shipley Bridge
Our taco bar travels to events across Shipley Bridge and the surrounding area: from barns and marquees to gardens, halls and offices, wherever there is room for the table. It suits leaving dos and team lunches, with slow-cooked fillings kept hot, burrito bowls and a build-your-own taco bar.
For a rural spot like Shipley Bridge, 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. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
- Fit the bar into your running order
- Agree the serving spot with your venue early
- Put allergies in writing for us
After the last plate, we take the bar down and leave the spot tidy.
Nachos to share can keep guests going before the bar opens.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
What we need at the venue
If a space isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you. The main points are:
- The venue’s agreement for the taco bar and our vehicle
- A short, clear path for carrying the bar in
- Space for a serving table on level ground
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.

Your questions about taco bar hire in Shipley Bridge
Could you serve in Worth Park Gardens?
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.
Do you set up taco bars indoors in places like Shipley Bridge?
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.
How much is a taco bar?
There is no price list, because no two events are the same. Send us your details and we will quote for your event. Our guide to Mexican catering costs may help.
How many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Comparing your options
Next to a hog roast or carvery, a taco bar handles vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests without separate plates. 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.
