Taco bar hire near Bowsey Hill
Taco bar hire in Bowsey Hill, from our food truck or trailer
Add burrito bowls, loaded nachos or quesadillas if you’d like more choice. Margaritas and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can be added. It works well for christenings and family parties and team lunches, with pickled onions and toppings, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and guacamole.
For a rural spot like Bowsey Hill, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. You’ll know what’s included before you book: menu, timings and any add-ons.
How the day works
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. Around midsummer it stays light in Bowsey Hill until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Tell us the date, the venue, how many guests and any diets.
- You get a suggested taco-bar spread and a quote.
- Together we fix the spot for the taco bar and a nearby place for our vehicle.
- Our staff set up the station, keep the fillings hot and top up the bar through service.
- After the last tacos, we clear the station away.
Getting ready for the day
- Find out what power and water are available
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
Getting a price
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, tell us about it on our contact page.
Planning help
Diets, allergies and planning
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Choose at least one vegan filling
- Put allergies in writing for us
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Check where our vehicle can unload
Dishes are labelled, with allergen information available at the table.
Ask us about plates, napkins and cutlery and we’ll confirm what’s possible in your quote.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Your questions about taco bar hire in Bowsey Hill
Is Bowsey Hill close to London?
About 32 miles from central London.
We are having a ceremony at St Paul's Mission Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Is the food made fresh?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
How many guests can you serve?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. Tell us your numbers and we will advise.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
What about power on site?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we will park.
Can guests build tacos at a wedding breakfast?
The taco bar can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. Timings are agreed with you and your venue, and guests build their own plates.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food.
Is taco bar hire right for your event?
A standard buffet often sits out cold. Our fillings stay hot and the bowls are topped up as guests come back. 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.
