How our taco bar hire works in Upper Wellingham
The bar can stand beside our truck or trailer, or on its own. If the truck can’t get to the spot, we park close by, unload and carry the bar in, as long as the venue agrees. For family get-togethers and leaving dos, we can serve warm corn and flour tortillas, fresh salsas and guacamole for your guests.
In a small place like Upper Wellingham, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, though we still need to unload within a short walk. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Prices and what affects them
We quote for your event, and the price is based on:
- Food, drinks or both
- The number of people
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- How many staff you need
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.

- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- A picture of where we’d park
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- The venue or postcode

DIY taco night versus a caterer
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Planning the serving area
We will be honest if a space will not work. What matters most:
- Somewhere close by for our vehicle to park and unload
- Cover overhead if the bar is outdoors
- Room for the bar alongside the vehicle, if booked together
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
On the menu in Upper Wellingham
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Tortilla chips
- Salsas and guacamole
- Two to four fillings
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Vegan fillings
Working with your venue
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
