How our taco bar hire works in Underriver
Our staff set up the taco bar and look after it through service: keeping the fillings hot, warming tortillas and topping up the bowls. Nobody from your side needs to lift a spoon. Popular choices include guacamole, a build-your-own taco bar and slow-cooked fillings kept hot, and it suits summer garden parties and team socials.
Somewhere as small as Underriver, 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. Your quote sets out what’s included: menu, timings and any add-ons.
Who books taco bar hire in Underriver?

If you are celebrating after a service at a church like Church of St Margaret, a hall close by could host a staffed taco bar, with the venue’s permission.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
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 will do the serving.
How it works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain does not generally stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. Evenings in Underriver stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm. After dusk, lights over the station help guests build their tacos.
- Tell us the date, the venue, how many guests and any diets.
- We suggest fillings, salsas and toppings for the bar and send a quote.
- Before the day, we confirm the serving spot, unloading, power and water with the venue.
- We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and guests help themselves.
- When service finishes, we clear the table and pack the vehicle.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

How we price taco bar hire
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The number of people
- How long we are needed on site
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- What’s on the menu
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
