Taco bar hire in Tickham
How our taco bar hire works in Tickham
You choose the fillings with us, perhaps carnitas, chicken tinga or birria, plus a vegan choice such as spiced mushroom or black bean and sweet potato. It suits garden parties and anniversary parties, serving warm corn and flour tortillas, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and burrito bowls.
Somewhere as small as Tickham, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If the truck cannot get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, though we still need to unload within a short walk. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
The menu, item by item
Warm tortillas
Corn and flour tortillas, warmed through in batches. The corn ones suit gluten-free guests.
Hot fillings
You might choose two or three fillings. You choose them with us.
Before you choose a spot
If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- The venue’s or landowner’s agreement
- Space beside the truck or trailer if you are booking both
- Space for a line of guests at the bar
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
On the menu in Tickham

What taco bar hire costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Serving staff
- How many guests we’re serving
- What the venue already provides
Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Where the event is
- A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- Your menu ideas
- Diets and allergies you know about
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
The process
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. From late May to late September, sunset in Tickham moves from about 8:50pm to 7:00pm. If the taco bar is outdoors and runs later, tell us what lighting the venue has.
- 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.
- We clear the bar away after service.
How to prepare
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Give us a contact for the day

Which station should guests use for Tickham?

Do you stay to run the taco bar?
Our staff set up the bar, keep the fillings hot and top up the dishes through service.

The taco bar can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. Timings are agreed with you and your venue.
Is the food very hot?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
