Taco bar hire in Badshot Lea, from our truck or trailer
Our truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers and we’ll plan the taco bar around them. On the menu are a build-your-own taco bar, fresh salsas and pickled onions and toppings, and it’s a good fit for evening wedding receptions and milestone birthdays.
Near Badshot Lea, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we will confirm power and water with you. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

- Plan the taco bar around speeches and timings
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at

Badshot Lea questions
Is Badshot Lea close to London?
It is about 34 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
What’s the nearest station to Badshot Lea for guests?
Aldershot station, about 1.2 miles north of the centre.
Is the food made fresh?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Is the taco bar staffed?
The taco bar is served from a table or station by our staff, so your hosts don’t need to. We pack it away afterwards.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we’ll talk licensing through with you and your venue.
Can guests build tacos at a wedding breakfast?
The taco bar can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. We agree the timings with your venue, and guests build their own plates.
Can the taco bar cater for special diets?
Fillings and toppings sit in separate dishes, which helps with mixed diets, though we can’t guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
Is taco bar hire right for your event?
Sandwich platters are convenient but forgettable. Warm tortillas and hot fillings give a lunch more to talk about. Access, parking and the distance to your venue can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Your quote confirms the full price.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- What the venue already provides
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Timings and hours
- How many staff you need
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Your menu ideas
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- How we drive in and where we can park
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. When you are ready, send a quick message through our quote form.
Planning the serving area
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- Space for a serving table on level ground
- Space for a line of guests at the bar
- Cover overhead if the bar is outdoors
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
