Taco bar hire for Upper Brailes events
How our taco bar hire works in Upper Brailes
Truck and trailer bookings generally suit around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are quoted case by case. Share your headcount and we will size the taco bar to match. It suits wedding breakfasts and engagement parties, serving burrito bowls, guacamole and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
Near Upper Brailes, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we will confirm power and water with you. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Should I do it myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
What we need at the venue
Before the day, we will agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Room for the bar alongside the vehicle, if booked together
- A sheltered spot if we are serving outside
- Space for a line of guests at the bar
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.
Popular choices

- Salsas and guacamole
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Two to four fillings
- Tortilla chips

FAQs for Upper Brailes
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
Yes, with the venue’s permission. Tell us about the parking, the doors and the space for the station.
Do you cater in villages like Upper Brailes?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
How does a taco bar work?
Each guest builds tacos from the fillings, salsas and toppings laid out. We run the bar from set-up to pack-down.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll check the licensing with you.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
How is the food prepared?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t typically stop service from the truck or trailer. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Is the food very hot?
It is up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
