Taco bar hire near Ardington
Taco bar hire in Ardington, from our truck or trailer
Our staff set up the taco bar and look after it through service: warming tortillas, keeping fillings hot and refilling the salsas as they go. Your hosts can stay with their guests. Popular choices include warm corn and flour tortillas, burrito bowls and pickled onions and toppings, and it is a good fit for evening wedding receptions and working lunches.
In a small place like Ardington, 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 turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Ardington: your questions answered
How far is Ardington from central London?
It’s about 56 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
We are having a ceremony at Church of the Holy Trinity: 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.
What about power on site?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Do you do parties at home?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
Is the food very hot?
That is your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll suggest mild options.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so contact us early.
Do you stay to run the taco bar?
We run the station ourselves, so your hosts do not need to. We pack it away afterwards.
How it compares
Pizza is a safe choice, but a taco bar lets every guest design their own plate. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we’ll set out what’s included.
Why book with us
- Menus for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests
- Tacos, burritos and a drinks bar
- Everything served fresh from the hatch
- A menu built around your guests

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
