Taco bar hire in Tinkers Cross, from our truck or trailer
We run the taco bar ourselves: keeping the fillings hot, warming tortillas and topping up the bowls. Your hosts can stay with their guests. It suits wedding evening food and office lunches, serving slow-cooked fillings kept hot, guacamole and warm corn and flour tortillas.
In a hamlet or village like Tinkers Cross, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. Our staff set up the station and run it through service; tell us about access and parking. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Planning the serving area
Every venue is different, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Room for the bar alongside the vehicle, if booked together
- Permission from the venue for us to set up
- A sheltered spot if we are serving outside
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we offer
- Vegan fillings
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Two to four fillings
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Tortilla chips

What affects the price in Tinkers Cross

Tinkers Cross: your questions answered
Will you travel to a small place like Tinkers Cross?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Sandleheath Village Hall?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote, and we will keep their options separate.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Our service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are looked at case by case. Share your headcount and we’ll size the bar to suit.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you give allergen information?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Occasions we cater for in Tinkers Cross

Diets, allergies and planning

We arrive with time to unload and set the bar up before guests eat.

Should I do it myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
