Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Send us allergy details in writing
- Fit the bar into your running order
- Count children separately
- Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
Fillings are kept hot and tortillas warmed in batches, so the bar stays fresh from the first plate to the last.
Our food truck or trailer can serve later in the day, after the taco bar, quoted with the rest.
Taco bar hire in Turnpike Lane, from our truck or trailer
Our staff set up the taco bar and look after it through service: keeping the fillings hot, warming tortillas and topping up the bowls. Your hosts can stay with their guests. We serve burrito bowls, a build-your-own taco bar and fresh salsas, which works well for engagement and anniversary parties and wedding evening food.
In Turnpike Lane, a hired hall, a courtyard or a garden without drive access can still host a taco bar. A taco bar station can be set up away from the truck, with the venue’s agreement, and we need a short, clear route from where we unload. We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Why choose taco bar hire in Turnpike Lane?

Turnpike Lane questions
Could the taco bar go somewhere in Turnpike Lane that the truck can’t reach?
Yes, if the venue allows it. The truck or trailer does not have to reach the room, but we do need to unload close by, so tell us about loading, permits and parking.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St John The Baptist (greek Orthodox): 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.
Is the taco bar staffed?
We run the station ourselves, so you do not need helpers. We pack it away afterwards.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Can you keep it mild?
That’s your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a photo and we will talk it through.
Do you need power and water?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
What does a taco bar cost?
We don’t publish set prices, as each booking is different. Send us your details and we will quote for your event. See what Mexican catering costs for background.
What’s on the menu

How it works
We work to your timings. If things run behind, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. A December taco bar in Turnpike Lane will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. In late June, the light holds until around 9:20pm.
- Start with the essentials: the date, venue, headcount and diets.
- We plan the fillings and toppings with you and quote for them.
- We agree where the table goes and where our vehicle can unload.
- Our staff set up the station, keep the fillings hot and top up the bar through service.
- After the last tacos, we clear the station away.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
