How it compares
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen, waiting staff and fixed courses. A taco bar needs a serving spot, somewhere close to unload and the venue’s agreement, and power and water are confirmed with each booking. Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you choose what goes in.

About our taco bar hire in Thedden
The taco bar works for a wedding breakfast, a party or a working lunch. Guests build their plates quickly, so a crowd moves through steadily. At birthday celebrations and evening receptions, we’ll put together a menu of a build-your-own taco bar, burrito bowls and pickled onions and toppings and more.
In a small place like Thedden, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If the truck cannot get close, we can set the station 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.
Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first
- Flag any guest with coeliac disease
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
- Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
Dishes are labelled, with allergen information available at the table.

Thedden: your questions answered
Do you set up taco bars indoors in places like Thedden?
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.
Do you come out to small places like Thedden?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Does the taco bar need the truck on site?
The taco bar can be served from a table or station away from the truck. We still need to park our vehicle nearby to unload, and the venue’s agreement.
What do you need at the venue?
Send us details of the venue and where you’d like the bar, and we’ll confirm what’s needed. The venue’s agreement is needed too.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
How much is a food truck for an event?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
What does a taco bar cost?
There’s no price list, because no two events are the same. Share your plans and you’ll get a quote. See what Mexican catering costs for background.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.
How the day works
Your timings come first. If things run behind, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. In Thedden, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Begin with the date and headcount.
- We plan fillings and toppings around your guests’ diets.
- We fix timings with you and the venue.
- Service starts when your running order says.
- Once service is over, we pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Tell us what power and water the site has
