Taco bar hire near Speed Gate
How our taco bar hire works in Speed Gate
We run the taco bar ourselves: keeping the fillings hot, warming tortillas and topping up the bowls. Your hosts can stay with their guests. For team lunches and garden parties, we’ll put together a menu of warm corn and flour tortillas, fresh salsas and pickled onions and toppings and more.
For a rural spot like Speed Gate, 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. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.
Diets, allergies and planning
We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests. To get it right:
- Check where our vehicle can unload
- Put allergies in writing for us
- Include a dietary question on your invitations
- Let us know about anyone who is coeliac
If speeches or timings run over, we keep the fillings hot and start when you are ready.
Ask us whether a second station would help with big numbers.

What else we do in Speed Gate
Step by step
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. Around midsummer it stays light in Speed Gate until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Begin with the date and headcount.
- We plan fillings and toppings around your guests’ diets.
- We fix timings with you and the venue.
- Service starts when your running order says.
- Once service is over, we pack away.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely

Where vehicles can’t reach the room, the station can be set up there with the venue’s agreement, but we still need to unload close by.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
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.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
About the menu
Vegan fillings
Spiced mushroom, or black bean and sweet potato.
Salsas
Salsa lets everyone pick their own heat.

Taco bar hire or something else?
A standard buffet often sits out cold. We keep the fillings hot and refill the dishes through service. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Why us?
- Tacos, burritos and a drinks bar
- Allergen information for every dish
- A plan agreed before the day
- Fast service, even with a queue
