About our taco bar hire in Upper Common
Fillings are agreed with you, perhaps carnitas, chicken tinga or birria, with a vegan filling like black bean and sweet potato or spiced mushroom. For engagement parties and summer garden parties, we will put together a menu of a build-your-own taco bar, burrito bowls and slow-cooked fillings kept hot for your guests.
For a rural spot like Upper Common, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we will confirm power and water with you. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.
What’s on the menu
Vegan fillings
Black bean and sweet potato, or spiced mushrooms.
Salsas
Fresh salsas, from a mild tomato salsa to something hotter, made for your event.
Planning for every diet
Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included. To make it work smoothly:
- Agree the serving spot with your venue early
- Confirm any allergies to us by email
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Set out seating near the bar
After the last plate, we take the bar down and leave the spot tidy.
Extra salsas, from mild to hot, let guests choose their own heat.
How we price taco bar hire
We’ll give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- How long we are needed on site
- How many staff you need
- Travel, parking and access
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you can choose what you need.
Getting an accurate quote
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
- What you’d like on the menu
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
Not sure what you need yet? No problem: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will suggest a menu. When you’re ready, send a quick message through our quote form.
How it works
When service finishes, we pack up and leave our area tidy. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. In Upper Common, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is normally served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Contact us with your date and headcount.
- We agree a menu that covers every diet.
- Nearer the date, we confirm timings and the serving spot.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- Once service is over, we pack away.
How to prepare
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches

Common questions in Upper Common
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
We can, as long as the venue agrees. The station needs room for a queue, and we need to park and unload close to the door.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St. Martin?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Who clears up?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Do you have options for kids?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we will recommend how to serve.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Why choose taco bar hire in Upper Common?
A sandwich platter is easy to order but rarely remembered. A hot taco bar gives guests something to gather round. Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so tell us what you have in mind. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
