Taco bar hire for Vernham Dean events
Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Include a vegan filling on the bar
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Agree the serving spot with your venue early
- Ensure guests have somewhere to sit
Indoors or under cover, the bar carries on whatever the weather, so plan somewhere sheltered if you can.
Ask us about plates, napkins and cutlery and we will set out the options in your quote.
Taco bar hire in Vernham Dean, from our food truck or trailer
We run the taco bar ourselves: keeping the fillings hot, warming tortillas and topping up the bowls. Nobody from your side needs to lift a spoon. It suits engagement parties and team socials, serving pickled onions and toppings, fresh salsas and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
In a small place like Vernham Dean, 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. We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.
Vernham Dean: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Vernham Dean?
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.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary?
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 clear up afterwards?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will talk it through.
How much does taco bar hire cost in Vernham Dean?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we’ll keep their options separate.
What do you need at the venue?
Tell us about the venue and the spot you have in mind, and we will check it works. The venue’s agreement is needed too.
How does a taco bar work?
Each guest builds tacos from the fillings, salsas and toppings laid out. We run the bar from set-up to pack-down.
How do you handle dietary needs at the taco bar?
There are vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.

If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
