Dietary needs and planning tips
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Plan the taco bar around speeches and timings
- Collect dietary needs with your replies
- Put allergies in writing for us
- Make sure guests have somewhere to sit
Once guests have eaten, we clear the table and pack up and leave the spot tidy.
Ask us whether a second station would help with big numbers.
Taco bar hire in Thong, from our truck or trailer
We bring taco bars to events in and around Thong: marquees, barns, gardens, halls and workplaces. We serve warm corn and flour tortillas, a build-your-own taco bar and fresh salsas, which works well for marquee parties and family get-togethers.
For a rural spot like Thong, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer.

What else we do in Thong
Your questions about taco bar hire in Thong
Is it possible to have you in Shorne Woods Country Park?
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 will send what they need from us.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Peter and St Paul: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
What about power on site?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we will park.
How big an event can you cater?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
Do you cook on site?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
How does taco bar hire work?
A serving table is laid with warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and guests build their own tacos. We stay to keep everything hot and stocked.
How many guests can a taco bar serve?
That depends on your timings and the event. As a guide, our bookings normally fall around 50 to 400 guests.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
For event organisers in Thong
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Perfect for your event in Thong
The bar becomes a meeting point: guests compare fillings and swap topping ideas as they go.
Here are some of the events we cater:
- Company parties
- Garden parties
- Office lunches
- Evening receptions
If you’re celebrating after a service at a church like Church of St Peter and St Paul, a hall close by could host a staffed taco bar, with the venue’s permission.
What your quote should include
- If the price includes VAT
- How bad weather is handled
- How dietary needs and allergies are handled
- Staff numbers and hours
DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
How it works
When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. Evenings in Thong stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm. Once it gets dark, guests need to see what they’re adding to their tacos.
- Share a few details about the event.
- You get a suggested taco-bar menu and a quote.
- We check power, water and access with your venue.
- We set up the station and keep everything hot.
- At the end, we take everything away.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Give us a contact for the day
