About our taco bar hire in Stockcross
The toppings are where guests get creative: lime wedges, coriander, pickled onions, cheese and crema, depending on the menu you choose. Popular choices include warm corn and flour tortillas, fresh salsas and slow-cooked fillings kept hot, and it suits christenings and family parties and engagement and anniversary parties.
In a small place like Stockcross, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Perfect for your event in Stockcross
Vegans, vegetarians and gluten-free guests eat from the same table, since corn tortillas and vegan fillings sit with everything else.
A truck or trailer works for big and small events alike. Typical bookings include:
- Office lunches

After a christening or wedding at a church such as Church of St John, a taco bar at a hall or garden nearby lets guests build their own tacos.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.

Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at

- Ask the venue where we can park to unload
- Collect dietary needs with your replies
We warm tortillas in batches and keep the fillings hot, so the bar stays fresh from the first plate to the last.
