About our taco bar hire in Alvescot
For a bigger spread, burrito bowls, nachos or quesadillas can sit alongside the tacos. Our drinks bar can be booked with it too. It suits back-garden gatherings and office lunches, serving warm corn and flour tortillas, burrito bowls and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
In a small place like Alvescot, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If the truck cannot get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.

If the schedule slips, tell us and we will hold everything hot until you are ready.
For larger groups, ask about a second serving point.

Common questions in Alvescot
How far is Alvescot from London?
About 67 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Alvescot?
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.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
Are plates and napkins included?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables.
What’s on the menu?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. See our menu for ideas.
What if a vehicle cannot reach the serving spot?
It can go beside the truck or trailer, or somewhere a vehicle cannot reach. Either way, we need to unload nearby and have the venue’s permission.
Is the food made fresh?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Is a taco bar right for a wedding?
A taco bar makes a relaxed, sociable wedding meal. We fit it around your speeches and photos. There is more in our taco bar guide.
Should I do it 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.
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.
Planning the serving area
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- A sheltered spot if we’re serving outside
- Space for a serving table on level ground
- Somewhere close by for our vehicle to park and unload
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.
What we offer
- Tortilla chips
- Two to four fillings
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Vegan fillings
How we price taco bar hire
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Timings and hours
- What the venue already provides
Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you can choose what you need.
What we need to know
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- The venue or postcode
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- What power and water the site has
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will come back with a clear quote.
Taco bar hire or something else?
A standard buffet often sits out cold. We keep the fillings hot and refill the dishes through service. Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
Why us?
- A truck or trailer that comes to you
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
