About our taco bar hire in Appleford-on-Thames
Taco bars suit wedding breakfasts, parties and office lunches alike. Guests build their plates quickly, so a crowd moves through steadily. We serve burrito bowls, guacamole and pickled onions and toppings, and it’s a good fit for leaving dos and barn parties.
In a hamlet or village like Appleford-on-Thames, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. Our staff set up the station and run it through service. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Space beside the truck or trailer if you’re booking both
- Permission from the venue for us to set up
- Shelter from rain and sun for an outdoor bar
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

How it compares
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen, waiting staff and fixed courses. For a taco bar, we need a serving spot, a nearby place to unload and the venue’s permission, and power and water are confirmed with each booking. What’s on the menu makes a difference to the total, so tell us what you have in mind. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
