The taco bar works for a wedding breakfast, a party or a working lunch. Building your own is quick, which keeps the line moving. It suits working lunches and engagement parties, serving burrito bowls, pickled onions and toppings and fresh salsas.
Somewhere as small as Wissenden, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Ensure one filling is vegan
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
- Send us allergy details in writing
If speeches or timings run over, we keep the fillings hot and start when you are ready.
Our food truck or trailer can serve later in the day, after the taco bar, quoted with the rest.
Common questions in Wissenden
Do you come out to small places like Wissenden?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
How far is Wissenden from central London?
It’s about 43 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Is a taco bar good for vegans and gluten-free guests?
Keeping each dish separate makes mixed diets easier, but we cannot promise an allergen-free kitchen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
Can guests build tacos at a wedding breakfast?
A taco bar makes a relaxed, sociable wedding meal. We fit it around your speeches and photos. There’s more in our taco bar guide.
How does a taco bar work?
A serving table is laid with warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and each guest builds their own. We stay to keep everything hot and stocked.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we will keep their options separate.
Is taco bar hire right for your event?
The difference between a taco bar and truck service is who builds the taco. At the hatch, we make each order; at the taco bar, guests do the building. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so share your ideas with us. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
