How the day works
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. Around midsummer it stays light in Upperton until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is usually 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.
- Service starts when your running order says.
- Once service is over, we pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

Truck and trailer bookings typically suit around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are quoted case by case. Share your headcount and we’ll size the taco bar to match. It suits team lunches and summer garden parties, with a build-your-own taco bar, pickled onions and toppings and fresh salsas.
Somewhere as small as Upperton, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

Common questions in Upperton
Can you cater a reception after a service at The Parish Church of All Hallows?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Do you come out to small places like Upperton?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
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.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will plan the menu around them.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll go through the licensing with you.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we’ll talk it through.
Do you cover Upperton?
Yes, we do. Upperton is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Taco bar hire or something else?
If you want food that feels sociable but still well run, a taco bar is a strong choice for your event. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Agree the serving spot with your venue early

We get there early enough to unload, lay out the table and heat everything through.
For larger groups, ask about a second serving point.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
