How our taco bar hire works in Botley
We can serve the taco bar next to the truck or trailer, or as a separate station. Where a vehicle can’t reach the serving spot, we unload nearby and set the table up there, with the venue’s agreement. We serve slow-cooked fillings kept hot, guacamole and warm corn and flour tortillas, which works well for garden parties and engagement parties.
A place like Botley may have a hall or a club nearby if your garden is small; we need the venue’s permission, a level spot and somewhere to unload. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.

How it works
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. Around midsummer it stays light in Botley until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is usually served in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, 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.
- Service starts when your running order says.
- Once service is over, we pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat

Fillings are kept hot and tortillas warmed in batches, so the bar stays fresh from the first plate to the last.

Where the truck can go in Botley
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Room for guests to queue along the table
- A short, clear path for carrying the bar in
- Space for a serving table on level ground
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Is taco bar hire right for your event?
Sandwich platters are convenient but forgettable. A hot taco bar gives guests something to gather round. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.

Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Botley: your questions answered
Is Botley close to London?
It is about 55 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Peter and St Paul?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
Do you need electricity?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we’ll park.
Can you set up where a truck cannot get in?
The taco bar can sit next to the truck or trailer, or in a spot of its own. Either way, we need to unload nearby and have the venue’s permission.
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.
What space does a taco bar need?
Room for the table and a queue, plus a nearby place to unload. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
