Taco bar hire for Calcot events
About our taco bar hire in Calcot
You choose the fillings with us, such as pork carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, plus a vegan choice such as spiced mushroom or black bean and sweet potato. At birthday celebrations and wedding evening food, we’ll put together a menu of burrito bowls, a build-your-own taco bar and slow-cooked fillings kept hot for your guests.
In a smaller place like Calcot, a taco bar in your garden or a local hall keeps things simple. Our staff set up the station and guests build their own tacos. Let us know about the drive and parking. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

What affects the price in Calcot
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Parking and the route in
- How many staff you need
- The number of people
- Whether you need disposables
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- A photo of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- Expected numbers
- Where the event is
- How we drive in and where we can park
Not sure what you need yet? That’s fine: give us the basics about your event, and we will make suggestions. When you’re ready, send a quick message through our quote form.
Popular choices
Salsas
Fresh salsas, from a mild tomato salsa to something hotter, made for your event.
Warm tortillas
Every taco starts with a warm tortilla. We warm them as the bar needs them through service.

Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A spot next to the truck or trailer when both are booked
- Power and water, which we confirm when you book
- A sheltered spot if we are serving outside
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

FAQs for Calcot
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Calcot Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
What’s the nearest station to Calcot for guests?
Guests can use Theale station, about 1.2 miles south-west of Calcot.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
How does a taco bar work?
A serving table is laid with warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and each guest builds their own. We stay to keep everything hot and stocked.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
How many guests can you serve?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
What does a taco bar cost?
We do not publish set prices, as each booking is different. Send us your details and we’ll quote for your event. See what Mexican catering costs for background.
