How our taco bar hire works in The Valley
We run the taco bar ourselves: warming tortillas, keeping fillings hot and refilling the salsas as they go. Your hosts can stay with their guests. Popular choices include warm corn and flour tortillas, pickled onions and toppings and fresh salsas, and it suits team lunches and summer garden parties.
Near The Valley, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we’ll confirm power and water with you. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

How it works
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can spend time with your guests. In The Valley, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is usually served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Start with your date, venue and guest numbers.
- We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.
- The venue confirms where the bar goes and where we park.
- Our staff set out the bar and guests build their own tacos.
- When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
