Taco bar hire for your event in Ashampstead
Mixed diets are simple at a taco bar, as fillings and toppings are kept in separate dishes. We plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, plus allergen information for every dish. We serve guacamole, a build-your-own taco bar and warm corn and flour tortillas, and it’s a good fit for wedding evening food and leaving dos.
Somewhere as small as Ashampstead, 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. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Questions from Ashampstead
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
We can, as long as the venue agrees. The station needs room for a queue, and we need to park and unload close to the door.
Which station is closest to Ashampstead?
Guests can use Goring & Streatley station, about 3.2 miles north-east of Ashampstead.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll recommend how to serve.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
How much is a taco bar?
We do not publish set prices, as each booking is different. Send us your details and we’ll quote for your event. See what Mexican catering costs for background.
What’s on the menu?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings might include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
What is a build-your-own taco bar?
Guests take a plate and fill their tortillas from the dishes on the bar. Our staff look after the bar throughout.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
