Taco bar hire in Stanswood, served fresh
Our taco bar travels to events across Stanswood and the surrounding area: from barns and marquees to gardens, halls and offices. Popular choices include pickled onions and toppings, guacamole and warm corn and flour tortillas, which works well for barn and marquee parties and summer garden parties.
For a rural spot like Stanswood, 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 will confirm power and water with you. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
Planners, venues and businesses
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.

What happens on the day
Once service is over, we pack up and leave our area tidy. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. Around midsummer it stays light in Stanswood until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is normally served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Start with your date, venue and guest numbers.
- Together we choose what goes on the bar.
- We confirm the table spot and where we’ll unload.
- On the day, guests help themselves while we keep the bar stocked.
- We clear the bar away after service.
Before we arrive
- Tell us when you want service to start

DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
