For planners, venues and organisers
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
How the day works
Once service is over, we pack down and clear our own area. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. Evenings in Timsbury stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm. After dusk, lights over the station help guests build their tacos.

- We plan the fillings and toppings with you and quote for them.
- We agree where the table goes and where our vehicle can unload.

Common questions in Timsbury
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
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.
How far is Timsbury from central London?
It’s about 69 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can we have a taco bar at our wedding?
A taco bar makes a relaxed, sociable wedding meal. We fit it around your speeches and photos. There is more in our taco bar guide.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will suggest mild options.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we’ll talk it through.
Can you set up where a truck cannot get in?
The taco bar can be served from a table or station away from the truck. We still need somewhere close to unload our vehicle, and the venue has to agree.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. For alcohol, we will check the licensing with you and your venue.

Taco bar hire or something else?
