About our taco bar hire in Barkham
The taco bar works for a wedding breakfast, a party or a working lunch. Building your own is quick, which keeps the line moving, and nobody waits long. We serve fresh salsas, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and pickled onions and toppings, and it’s a good fit for company parties and barn and marquee parties.
Near Barkham, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.

Catering for every guest
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests. To get it right:
- Plan the taco bar around speeches and timings

- Count children separately

A covered spot keeps the bar and guests dry if it rains.
Burrito bowls sit well on the bar for anyone avoiding tortillas.

For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Planning the serving area
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- The venue’s or landowner’s agreement
- Shelter from rain and sun for an outdoor bar
- A level area for the taco-bar table
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Popular choices
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Vegan fillings
- Two to four fillings
- Tortilla chips
How it works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a picture of the space if you’re unsure. Evenings in Barkham stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm. Once it gets dark, guests need to see what they’re adding to their tacos.
- Start with your date, venue and guest numbers.
- Together we choose what goes on the bar.
- The venue confirms where the bar goes and where we park.
- On the day, guests help themselves while we keep the bar stocked.
- We clear the bar away after service.
How to prepare
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in

Freshly made guacamole with lime.
Toppings
Toppings let guests finish their tacos their way, and dairy-free choices are kept apart.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. 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.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.

Barkham questions
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St James?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is Barkham close to London?
Roughly 34 miles from the centre of London.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Can you come to a private house?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a photo and we’ll talk it through.
What do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.
When do you arrive?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance to suit your day.
