Taco bar hire for your event in West Blatchington
Mixed diets are simple at a taco bar, because every filling and topping sits in its own dish. We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. For evening wedding receptions and milestone birthdays, we will put together a menu of fresh salsas, pickled onions and toppings and guacamole and more.
In and around West Blatchington, a taco bar works beside the truck or in a hall nearby. Where access is tight, the truck stays nearby and the station goes where your guests are, as long as we can unload within a short walk. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

Planning for every diet
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
- Plan the taco bar around speeches and timings
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
- Choose at least one vegan filling
We get there early enough to unload, lay out the table and heat everything through.
Our drinks bar can sit alongside the taco bar with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If things run behind, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. Around midsummer it stays light in West Blatchington until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Send us your date, where the taco bar will go, numbers and dietary needs.
- We plan the fillings and toppings with you and quote for them.
- Together we fix the spot for the taco bar and a nearby place for our vehicle.
- Our staff set up the station, keep the fillings hot and top up the bar through service.
- After the last tacos, we clear the station away.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Find out what power and water are available
