Taco bar hire for your event in Shipton Bellinger
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 engagement and anniversary parties and back-garden gatherings, serving warm corn and flour tortillas, a build-your-own taco bar and fresh salsas.
Somewhere as small as Shipton Bellinger, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If the truck can’t get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, though we still need to unload within a short walk. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

Planning for every diet
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Confirm any allergies to us by email
- Agree the serving spot with your venue early
- Ask the venue where we can park to unload
- Set out seating near the bar
Fillings are kept hot and tortillas warmed in batches, so the bar stays fresh from the first plate to the last.
Our food truck or trailer can serve later in the day, after the taco bar, quoted with the rest.
How we price taco bar hire
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Timings and hours
What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
What we need to know
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The address or venue name
- A picture of where we’d park
- Your menu ideas
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.
Should I do it myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
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.
Your questions about taco bar hire in Shipton Bellinger
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
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.
Will you travel to a small place like Shipton Bellinger?
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 cater in a back garden?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Send us a photo of the access and the space.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll go through the licensing with you.
How is the food prepared?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
How much is a taco bar?
There’s no price list, because no two events are the same. Share your plans and you will get a quote. See what Mexican catering costs for background.
Who clears up?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Can you keep it mild?
It’s up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.

Taco bar hire or something else?
Plated meals depend on a kitchen and a team of waiting staff. For a taco bar, we need a serving spot, a nearby place to unload and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
