How our taco bar hire works in Stroud Common
The bar can stand beside our truck or trailer, or on its own. If the truck can’t get to the spot, we park close by, unload and carry the bar in, with the venue’s agreement. We serve guacamole, pickled onions and toppings and burrito bowls, and it suits company parties and evening wedding receptions.
In a small place like Stroud Common, 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. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
How it compares
For a meal that is hands-on for guests but not for you, a taco bar suits events in Stroud Common well. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for taco bar hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.

Check with yours where a taco bar station and our truck or trailer could go.

Stroud Common: your questions answered
Could you serve in Cucknell's Wood?
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’ll send what they need from us.
Do you set up taco bars indoors in places like Stroud Common?
We can, as long as the venue agrees. The station needs room for a queue, and we need to park and unload close to the door.
How long are you on site?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
How much is a food truck for an event?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually need. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will talk it through.
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Do you give allergen information?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
What about power on site?
Tell us what the site has, for instance a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
Working with your venue
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
How we price taco bar hire
We quote for your event, and the price is based on:
- Parking and the route in
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- The length of service
- Staff for serving and the bar
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- A photo of the space, if it is a garden or field
- Your menu ideas
- The address or venue name
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 tell us about it on our contact page.
The menu, item by item
Warm tortillas
Tortillas are the base of the bar. We warm them as the bar needs them.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
