How our taco bar hire works in Upper Hardres
For a bigger spread, burrito bowls, nachos or quesadillas can sit alongside the tacos. Our drinks bar can be booked with it too, with licensing checked with you. It suits back-garden gatherings and barn and marquee parties, with guacamole, warm corn and flour tortillas and a build-your-own taco bar.
Near Upper Hardres, a marquee or barn makes a good home for a taco bar. We set up the station and our team runs it. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.
Upper Hardres questions
Do you cater in villages like Upper Hardres?
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.
Could you set up a taco bar in a hall near Upper Hardres?
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.
What if a vehicle cannot reach the serving spot?
The bar can stand on its own, away from the truck or trailer. We still need to park our vehicle nearby to unload, and the venue’s agreement.
How much is a taco bar?
Every taco bar is quoted for individually, depending on guests, menu, venue and timings. For a price, fill in our quote form.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Read our taco bar guide.
What do you need at the venue?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
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 check every dish and give allergen information.
How is the food prepared?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
The menu, item by item
Toppings
Toppings let guests finish their tacos their way, and dairy-free choices are kept apart.
Vegan fillings
Spiced mushroom, or black bean and sweet potato, cooked separately.
The process
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a photo of the space if you are unsure. A December taco bar in Upper Hardres will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:15pm.
