Taco bar hire for Smallbridge events
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
About our taco bar hire in Smallbridge
Fillings are agreed with you, perhaps carnitas, chicken tinga or birria, with a vegan filling like black bean and sweet potato or spiced mushroom. On the menu are burrito bowls, guacamole and a build-your-own taco bar, and it suits summer garden parties and staff parties.
For a rural spot like Smallbridge, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, with allergen information for everything we serve.
Planning the serving area
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- The venue’s or landowner’s agreement
- Details of power and water near the bar
- A level area for the taco-bar table
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.

FAQs for Smallbridge
Is it possible to have you in The Gill?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Do you set up taco bars indoors in places like Smallbridge?
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 many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
Can you set up where a truck can’t get in?
The taco bar can be served from a table or station away from the truck. We still need to park our vehicle nearby to unload, and the venue’s agreement.
What do you need at the venue?
Send us details of the venue and where you’d like the bar, and we will check it works. The venue’s agreement is needed too.
How long do you serve for?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Why choose taco bar hire in Smallbridge?

How it compares
The difference between a taco bar and truck service is who builds the taco. At the hatch, we make each order; at the taco bar, guests do the building. Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you can choose what you need.
Why book with us
- A plan agreed before the day
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests
- Tacos, burritos and a drinks bar
- Everything served fresh from the hatch
