Taco bar hire in Westwell Leacon, served fresh
You choose the fillings with us, such as pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, with a vegan filling like black bean and sweet potato or spiced mushroom. We serve fresh salsas, guacamole and pickled onions and toppings, and it suits office lunches and family celebrations.
For a rural spot like Westwell Leacon, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we will confirm power and water with you. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.
What we need at the venue
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- Room for the bar alongside the vehicle, if booked together
- A clear route from the vehicle to the serving spot
- Details of power and water near the bar
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

- Pickled onions and toppings

Is taco bar hire right for your event?
Next to a hog roast or carvery, a taco bar caters for vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free guests from one table. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.

Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Westwell Leacon: your questions answered
We are having a ceremony at Charing Methodist Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you come out to small places like Westwell Leacon?
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.
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. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll go through the licensing with you.
How big an event can you cater?
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
How long do you serve for?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
Can you keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
How is the food prepared?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Who clears up?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we will talk it through.
Working with your venue
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
