How our taco bar hire works in Chadlington
Mixed diets are simple at a taco bar, as fillings and toppings are kept in separate dishes. There are vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. It suits birthday celebrations and staff parties, with warm corn and flour tortillas, fresh salsas and guacamole.
Near Chadlington, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. You will know what’s included before you book: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

What happens on the day
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. In Chadlington, the sun sets at about 9:30pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, 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 agree a menu that covers every diet.
- We fix timings with you and the venue.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- Once service is over, we pack away.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Give us a contact for the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

Dietary needs and planning tips
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Flag any guest with coeliac disease
- Fit the bar into your running order
- Put guests with serious allergies in touch with us early
- Put allergies in writing for us
If the schedule slips, tell us and we will hold everything hot until you’re ready.
Ask us whether a second station would help with big numbers.
Common questions in Chadlington
Will you travel to a small place like Chadlington?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Could you set up a taco bar in a hall near Chadlington?
Yes, with the venue’s permission. Tell us about the parking, the doors and the space for the station.
Can you cater in a back garden?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a picture and we’ll talk it through.
How much space do you need?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
How much does taco bar hire cost?
There is no price list, because no two events are the same. Send us your details and we’ll quote for your event. See what Mexican catering costs for background.
What space does a taco bar need?
Send us details of the venue and where you’d like the bar, and we will check it works. The venue’s agreement is needed too.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
We can. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
Before you choose a spot
Plenty of outdoor spaces and venues work for us, but a few things matter:
- Room for guests to queue along the table
- A sheltered spot if we’re serving outside
- The venue’s or landowner’s agreement
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.
What we offer
- Tortilla chips
- Salsas and guacamole
- Two to four fillings
- Corn and flour tortillas

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- What’s on the menu
- Parking and the route in
- Guest numbers
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. 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.
