About our taco bar hire in St Ives
Truck and trailer bookings typically suit around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers and we will plan the taco bar around them. It suits team socials and wedding day food, serving warm corn and flour tortillas, a build-your-own taco bar and burrito bowls.
For a rural spot like St Ives, 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’ll confirm power and water with you. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
Should I do it myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.

St Ives questions
Do you cater in villages like St Ives?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Could you serve in Avon Heath Country Park?
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 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 need power and water?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we will park.
How big an event can you cater?
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
Do you give allergen information?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we will talk licensing through with you and your venue.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Confirm any allergies to us by email
- Plan the taco bar around speeches and timings
- Include a dietary question on your invitations
- Check where our vehicle can unload
We arrive with time to unload and set the bar up before guests eat.
For larger groups, ask about a second serving point, quoted for your event.

Whatever the occasion, our food truck or trailer can be the centre of it. We’re happy to cater:
