Taco bar hire near Upper Halling
Taco bar hire in Upper Halling, from our truck or trailer
A taco bar puts the whole spread on one table: warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Each guest takes a plate and fills it their way. At team socials and family celebrations, we will put together a menu of warm corn and flour tortillas, pickled onions and toppings and fresh salsas and more.
In a hamlet or village like Upper Halling, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. Our staff set up the station and run it through service. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

DIY taco night versus 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.
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. Read our guide to taco bars.

FAQs for Upper Halling
Do you come out to small places like Upper Halling?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Is it possible to have you in Holborough Marshes?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Do you do parties at home?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
Who clears up?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will talk it through.
How much is a food truck for an event?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Is a taco bar good for vegans and gluten-free guests?
We plan vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
