Taco bar hire for your event in Tunstall
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. On the menu are guacamole, warm corn and flour tortillas and a build-your-own taco bar, which works well for barn parties and wedding day food.
Somewhere as small as Tunstall, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, though we still need to unload within a short walk. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.

Tunstall: your questions answered
How far is Tunstall from London?
About 37 miles from central London.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St John the Baptist: 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’ll check the access.
What should the venue provide?
Send us details of the venue and where you’d like the bar, and we’ll check it works. The venue’s agreement is needed too.
How many guests can you serve?
Our truck and trailer service generally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll suggest mild options.
Can you keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.

Planning for every diet
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Choose at least one vegan filling
- Check where our vehicle can unload
- Agree the serving spot with your venue early
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first
A covered spot keeps the bar and guests dry if it rains, so plan somewhere sheltered if you can.
