Taco bar hire for your event in Upham
The bar can stand beside our truck or trailer, or on its own. If the truck can’t get to the spot, we park close by, unload and carry the bar in, as long as the venue agrees. At barn parties and birthday parties, we can serve fresh salsas, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and pickled onions and toppings for your guests.
In a small place like Upham, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If the truck cannot get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Step by step
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a picture of the space if you’re unsure. Around midsummer it stays light in Upham until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Get in touch with your date and headcount.
- We plan fillings and toppings around your guests’ diets.
- We fix timings with you and the venue.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- We clear our station when service ends.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. 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.
Dietary needs and planning tips
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Check where our vehicle can unload
- Set out seating near the bar
- Make sure one filling is vegan
- Put guests with serious allergies in touch with us early
If speeches or timings run over, we keep the fillings hot and start when you’re ready.
Loaded nachos make a good starter while the bar is set up.
