Taco bar hire in Upper Dicker, from our truck or trailer
Taco bars suit wedding breakfasts, parties and office lunches alike. Guests build their plates quickly, so a crowd moves through steadily, and nobody waits long. It suits summer garden parties and birthday celebrations, with guacamole, warm corn and flour tortillas and pickled onions and toppings.

Events we cater in Upper Dicker
Guests on special diets don’t need a separate meal, since corn tortillas and vegan fillings sit with everything else.
A truck or trailer suits almost any gathering. In Upper Dicker, you could book us for occasions like:
- Evening receptions
- Working lunches
- Family get-togethers
- Engagement and anniversary parties
When the service is at a church such as Holy Trinity, the taco bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether VAT is included
- The deadline for final numbers
- Any travel, parking or access charges
- Plates and napkins, or nothing at all
How the day works
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Winter evenings in Upper Dicker close in by about 3:55pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:15pm.
- Share a few details about the event.
- We send a sample spread and a quote.

- We set up the station and keep everything hot.
- At the end, we take everything away.

- Confirm any allergies to us by email

- Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
A covered spot keeps the bar and guests dry if it rains.
Extra salsas, from mild to hot, let guests choose their own heat.
Upper Dicker: your questions answered
How far is Upper Dicker from central London?
It’s about 45 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you set up taco bars indoors in places like Upper Dicker?
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.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
What should the venue provide?
Room for the table and a queue, plus a nearby place to unload. We confirm power and water when you book.
What is a build-your-own taco bar?
We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings on a serving table, and guests build their own tacos. Our staff keep it hot and topped up.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a picture and we’ll talk it through.
How many guests can you serve?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
Planning the serving area
Every venue is different, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- A clear area in front of the station
- Shelter from rain and sun for an outdoor bar
- Somewhere close by for our vehicle to park and unload
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.
What we offer
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Vegan fillings
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Two to four fillings
- Tortilla chips
- Salsas and guacamole
Should I do it myself?

You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
