Planning an event in Alkerton?
Can I do a taco night myself?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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.
How our taco bar hire works in Alkerton
Mixed diets are simple at a taco bar, as fillings and toppings are kept in separate dishes. There are vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. It works well for leaving and retirement parties and summer garden parties, with burrito bowls, warm corn and flour tortillas and guacamole.
Somewhere as small as Alkerton, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If the truck can’t get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, though we still need to unload within a short walk. You’ll know what’s included before booking: menu, timings and any add-ons.

Questions from Alkerton
Do you come out to small places like Alkerton?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Michael?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a photo of the access and the space, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Can the taco bar cater for special diets?
We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
How is the food prepared?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Can you set up where a truck can’t get in?
The taco bar can sit next to the truck or trailer, or in a spot of its own. Either way, we need to unload nearby and have the venue’s permission.

Alkerton is about 5 miles west of Banbury, in Oxfordshire. Events in Alkerton are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and friendly service on the day. We cover all 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our nearest city page is Oxford, about 25 miles away.

Dietary needs and planning tips
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Put allergies in writing for us
- Flag any guest with coeliac disease
- Decide where the table goes before the day
- Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
A covered spot keeps the bar and guests dry if it rains.
Burrito bowls sit well on the bar for anyone avoiding tortillas.
Organising for someone else?
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
About the menu
Salsas
A row of salsas, mild to hot.
Vegan fillings
A vegan filling sits on the bar with the rest, not an afterthought.
How the day works
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. We are ready to serve at the agreed time, so everything runs to your schedule. Around midsummer it stays light in Alkerton until about 9:30pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is normally served in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.
- We confirm the table spot and where we’ll unload.
- Our staff set out the bar and guests build their own tacos.
- When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Let us know the timings for the day
