About our taco bar hire in Shortheath
We run the taco bar ourselves: warming tortillas, keeping fillings hot and refilling the salsas as they go. Your hosts can stay with their guests. It works well for company parties and wedding day food, serving burrito bowls, a build-your-own taco bar and fresh salsas.
Near Shortheath, a marquee or barn makes a good home for a taco bar. Our staff set up the station and run it through service. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer.
Step by step
When we arrive, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we have agreed, planned around your event. From late May to late September, sunset in Shortheath moves from about 8:55pm to 7:05pm. Let us know if an outdoor station will run after dark, and we’ll talk about lighting.

- You get a suggested taco-bar spread and a quote.
- Before the day, we confirm the serving spot, unloading, power and water with the venue.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
What’s on the menu
Guacamole
Freshly made guacamole with lime.
Warm tortillas
Every taco starts with a warm tortilla. We keep a steady supply going through service.
How we price taco bar hire
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether you need disposables
- What’s on the menu
- Timings and hours
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- What you’d like on the menu
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The date and rough timings
- What power and water the site has
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and you’ll get menu ideas and a price. Just tell us about it on our contact page.

Can you run a bar?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will check the licensing with you.

That is confirmed with each quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we will talk it through.
