- A level area for the taco-bar table
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

- Vegan fillings
- Tortilla chips
Taco bar hire for your event in Studdal
A taco bar puts the whole spread on one table: tortillas kept warm, fillings kept hot, and bowls of salsa, guacamole and toppings. Each guest takes a plate and fills it their way. For leaving dos and birthday parties, we will put together a menu of burrito bowls, fresh salsas and pickled onions and toppings.
In a small place like Studdal, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If the truck can’t get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, though we still need to unload within a short walk. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
What happens on the day
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Winter evenings in Studdal close in by about 3:50pm, so set the station up where the lighting is good. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:15pm.
- Begin with the date and headcount.
- We plan fillings and toppings around your guests’ diets.
- Nearer the date, we confirm timings and the serving spot.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- We clear our station when service ends.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- What the venue already provides
- Distance and access to the venue
- Serving staff
- The length of service
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.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- The venue or postcode
- What you’d like on the menu
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Your date and when you want service to start
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. When you are ready, send a quick message through our quote form.
