Can I do a taco night myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Taco bar hire for your event in Throwley
Add burrito bowls, loaded nachos or quesadillas if you’d like more choice. Margaritas and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can be added. It works well for wedding day food and birthday parties, serving guacamole, a build-your-own taco bar and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
In a small place like Throwley, 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, as long as we can unload within a short walk. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.
Planning the serving area
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- Cover overhead if the bar is outdoors
- The venue’s agreement for the taco bar and our vehicle
- Room for guests to queue along the table

The process
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. In Throwley, 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 normally served in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Contact us with your date and headcount.
- We agree a menu that covers every diet.
- Nearer the date, we confirm timings and the serving spot.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- Once service is over, we pack away.

Prices and what affects them
Contact us for a quote, which reflects:
- The length of service
- Whether you need disposables
- The number of people
- The menu you choose
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field
- The date and time of the event
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, fill in our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
