Should I do it myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
How our taco bar hire works in Steep Marsh
With a taco bar, everything is laid out in one place: tortillas kept warm, fillings kept hot, and bowls of salsa, guacamole and toppings. Guests pick up a plate and build their own. For christenings and family parties and engagement parties, we’ll put together a menu of warm corn and flour tortillas, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and burrito bowls for your guests.
Near Steep Marsh, a marquee or barn makes a good home for a taco bar. We set up the station and our team runs it. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.
How it compares
A standard buffet often sits out cold. We keep the fillings hot and refill the dishes through service. Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you can choose what you need.

For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The number of people
- How long we’re needed on site
- Food, drinks or both
- What the venue already provides
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The venue or postcode
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- The date and time of the event
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. Contact us for a quote: just send a quick message through our quote form.
What happens on the day
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. Evenings in Steep Marsh stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm. Once it gets dark, guests need to see what they’re adding to their tacos.
- Send us your date, where the taco bar will go, numbers and dietary needs.
- We suggest fillings, salsas and toppings for the bar and send a quote.
- We agree where the table goes and where our vehicle can unload.
