Taco bar hire for West Ashling events
How our taco bar hire works in West Ashling
The toppings are where guests get creative: lime wedges, coriander, pickled onions, cheese and crema, agreed with you in advance. It suits engagement and anniversary parties and family celebrations, with pickled onions and toppings, burrito bowls and warm corn and flour tortillas.
For a rural spot like West Ashling, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

West Ashling: your questions answered
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
Yes, with the venue’s permission. We need a short route from where we park to the room, and space for the station and a queue.
We’re having a ceremony at The Parish Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
How do you handle dietary needs at the taco bar?
We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Do you provide drinks?
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.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
How does a taco bar work?
A serving table is laid with warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and guests build their own tacos. Our staff keep it hot and topped up.
Can you keep it mild?
It’s up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
Where the truck can go in West Ashling
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so where we park matters. Here’s what we look for:
- Details of power and water near the bar
- Space for a line of guests at the bar
- A spot next to the truck or trailer when both are booked
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Popular choices
- Two to four fillings
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Tortilla chips
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Vegan fillings
- Salsas and guacamole
Should I do it myself?
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.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first
- Check where our vehicle can unload
- Pick the spot for the taco bar in advance
- Confirm any allergies to us by email
Fillings are kept hot and tortillas warmed in batches, so the bar stays fresh from the first plate to the last.
A wider range of salsas suits guests who like it mild and those who like it hot.
