Taco bar hire in Burkham
Taco bar hire in Burkham, served fresh
Our staff set up the taco bar and look after it through service: keeping the fillings hot, warming tortillas and topping up the bowls. Your hosts can stay with their guests. It works well for garden parties and barn parties, serving guacamole, burrito bowls and fresh salsas.
Somewhere as small as Burkham, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, though we still need to unload within a short walk. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Burkham: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Burkham for guests?
The closest is Alton station, roughly 4.7 miles away.
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
Yes, with the venue’s permission. Tell us about the parking, the doors and the space for the station.
How does a taco bar work?
We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings on a serving table, and each guest builds their own. We stay to keep everything hot and stocked.
What do you need at the venue?
Tell us about the venue and the spot you have in mind, and we will check it works. We also need the venue’s permission.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t normally stop service from the truck or trailer. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
How spicy is the food?
It’s up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll suggest mild options.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll talk it through.
Planning the serving area
If a space is not suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- A flat spot for the taco-bar station
- A clear area in front of the station
- Somewhere close by for our vehicle to park and unload
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
Menu ideas
- Two to four fillings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Vegan fillings
- Tortilla chips
- Pickled onions and toppings

How it works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a photo of the space if you are unsure. Around midsummer it stays light in Burkham until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is typically served in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Send us your date, where the taco bar will go, numbers and dietary needs.
- You get a suggested taco-bar spread and a quote.
- We agree where the table goes and where our vehicle can unload.
- Our staff set up the station, keep the fillings hot and top up the bar through service.
- When service finishes, we clear the table and pack the vehicle.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Ask the venue about power and water
