Taco bar hire in Benson
How our taco bar hire works in Benson
Our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers and we will plan the taco bar around them. It works well for family get-togethers and leaving dos, serving a build-your-own taco bar, pickled onions and toppings and warm corn and flour tortillas.
Around Benson, a taco bar can stand beside our truck on a drive or lawn. Where access is tight, the truck stays nearby and the station goes where your guests are, as long as we can unload within a short walk. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

What taco bar hire costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Parking and the route in
- The length of service
- The menu you choose
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The date and rough timings
- Your menu ideas
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. Contact us for a quote: just use our quote form.
Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Make sure guests have somewhere to sit
- Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Put allergies in writing for us
Indoors or under cover, the bar carries on whatever the weather.
Nachos to share can keep guests going before the bar opens.

Common questions in Benson
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Helen?
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. Send us the reception address.
How far is Benson from central London?
About 44 miles from central London.
How big an event can you cater?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
Do you cater in Benson?
We do. We serve at events in Benson and across Oxfordshire. Send us your date to check availability.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar.
When do you arrive?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
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 picture and we’ll talk it through.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Space, access and the venue
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:
- Space for a serving table on level ground
- A clear route from the vehicle to the serving spot
- A spot next to the truck or trailer when both are booked
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we offer
- Two to four fillings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Vegan fillings
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Tortilla chips
- Pickled onions and toppings
Comparing your options

About the menu
Hot fillings
A few fillings give guests plenty of choice. We agree them with you.
Salsas
Salsa lets everyone pick their own heat.
Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
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.
