Taco bar hire for your event in West Hougham
The bar can stand beside our food truck or trailer, or on its own. If the truck cannot get to the spot, we park close by, unload and carry the bar in, with the venue’s agreement. We serve a build-your-own taco bar, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and guacamole, which works well for milestone birthdays and engagement parties.
In a hamlet or village like West Hougham, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. We set up the station and our team runs it. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Your questions about taco bar hire in West Hougham
Do you come out to small places like West Hougham?
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.
Is it possible to have you in East Cliff and Warren Country Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will talk it through.
How much does taco bar hire cost?
We quote for each taco bar, based on numbers, fillings, the venue and timings. Contact us for a quote.
What do you need at the venue?
A level spot for the serving table, room to queue and somewhere close to unload our vehicle. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
Can guests build tacos at a wedding breakfast?
The taco bar can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. We agree the timings with your venue.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
How long are you on site?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
What taco bar hire costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:

- Where the event is
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers

About the menu
Warm tortillas
Tortillas are the base of the bar. We keep a steady supply going through service.
Salsas
Fresh salsas, from a mild tomato salsa to something hotter.
Can I do a taco night myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
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.
