Taco bar hire for your event in Astwood
A taco bar suits mixed diets well, as fillings and toppings are kept in separate dishes. There are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. On the menu are slow-cooked fillings kept hot, a build-your-own taco bar and guacamole, which works well for team socials and team lunches.
Near Astwood, a marquee or barn makes a good home for a taco bar. We set up the station and our team runs it; tell us about access and parking. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Astwood? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.
Catering for every guest
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Include a dietary question on your invitations
- Put guests with serious allergies in touch with us early
- Decide where the table goes before the day
- Plan the taco bar around speeches and timings
We get there early enough to unload, lay out the table and heat everything through.
Book our drinks bar with the taco bar for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Astwood questions

About 48 miles from central London.
Which station is closest to Astwood?
Guests can use Kempston Hardwick station, about 4.8 miles east of Astwood.
Do you need power and water?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we’ll park.
Is a taco bar suitable for a big group?
It depends on the event and the timings. As a guide, our bookings normally fall around 50 to 400 guests.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
Can you come to a private house?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a photo and we’ll talk it through.
Do you come to Astwood?
We do. We serve at events in Astwood and across Milton Keynes. Send us your date to check availability.
What happens on the day
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. Around midsummer it stays light in Astwood until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is normally served in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Begin with the date and headcount.
- We plan fillings and toppings around your guests’ diets.
- Nearer the date, we confirm timings and the serving spot.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- Once service is over, we pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Give us a contact for the day
Getting a price
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you need. To ask for one, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
