What affects the price in Barford St John
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Distance and access to the venue
- How many guests we are serving
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.

Planning the serving area
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Room nearby to park and unload our vehicle
- Permission from the venue for us to set up
- A clear route from the vehicle to the serving spot
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.
Popular choices
- Tortilla chips
- Salsas and guacamole
- Vegan fillings
- Two to four fillings
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Pickled onions and toppings
What happens on the day
On the day, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. We are ready to serve at the agreed time, so everything runs to your schedule. Around midsummer it stays light in Barford St John until about 9:30pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is typically served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.

Barford St John questions
Do you set up taco bars indoors in places like Barford St John?
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.
How far is Barford St John from central London?
It is about 64 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you stay to run the taco bar?
We set up and stay to keep the bar hot and stocked through service.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
How much does taco bar hire cost?
We do not publish set prices, as each booking is different.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.
Is the food made fresh?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Should I do it myself?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Comparing your options
Sandwich platters are convenient but forgettable. Warm tortillas and hot fillings give a lunch more to talk about. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
