Taco bar hire in Caversham
Taco bar hire in Caversham, served fresh
Taco bars suit wedding breakfasts, parties and office lunches alike. Building your own is quick, which keeps the line moving. Popular choices include burrito bowls, fresh salsas and pickled onions and toppings, and it is a good fit for back-garden gatherings and company parties.
Halls, marquees and gardens in Caversham can all suit a taco bar. It can stand next to the truck, or on its own where the truck cannot reach. Either way, we need to unload close by. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

What affects the price in Caversham
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The number of people
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- What’s on the menu
- How many staff you need
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for taco bar hire. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- What you’d like on the menu
- How we drive in and where we can park
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many adults and children
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.
Should I do it myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
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.
Where the truck can go in Caversham
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- Room for the bar alongside the vehicle, if booked together
- A parking or loading spot near the serving area
- The venue’s agreement for the taco bar and our vehicle
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

FAQs for Caversham
What’s the nearest station to Caversham for guests?
Reading station, about 1.3 miles south of the centre.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Eldon Square?
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.
How much is a taco bar?
Every taco bar is quoted for individually, based on numbers, fillings, the venue and timings. For a price, drop us a line using the enquiry form.

Yes, we offer gluten-free options, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
How long are you on site?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
What happens if it rains?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
What’s on the menu?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
