Taco bar hire for St Mary Bourne events
Taco bar hire in St Mary Bourne, from our food truck or trailer
The toppings are where guests get creative: pickled onions, coriander, lime, shredded lettuce and cheese. It works well for wedding day food and birthday celebrations, with a build-your-own taco bar, fresh salsas and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
For a rural spot like St Mary Bourne, 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 cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.
What we need at the venue
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Room for guests to queue along the table
- Easy access from where we unload to the table
- Somewhere close by for our vehicle to park and unload
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
What we offer
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Tortilla chips
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Vegan fillings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Two to four fillings
DIY taco night versus a caterer
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
The process
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a photo of the space if you are unsure. From late May to late September, sunset in St Mary Bourne moves from about 8:55pm to 7:10pm. Let us know if an outdoor station will run after dark, and we’ll talk about lighting.
- Start with the essentials: the date, venue, headcount and diets.
- You get a suggested taco-bar spread and a quote.
- We agree where the table goes and where our vehicle can unload.
- Our staff set up the station, keep the fillings hot and top up the bar through service.
- Once guests have eaten, we take down the bar and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
