If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Taco bar hire in Chalgrove, from our truck or trailer
Our staff set up the taco bar and look after it through service: warming tortillas, keeping fillings hot and refilling the salsas as they go. Nobody from your side needs to lift a spoon. We serve guacamole, burrito bowls and slow-cooked fillings kept hot, and it suits team lunches and company parties.
In and around Chalgrove, a taco bar works beside the truck or in a hall nearby. Where access is tight, the truck stays nearby and the station goes where your guests are. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.

FAQs for Chalgrove
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
What space does a taco bar need?
Tell us about the venue and the spot you have in mind, and we will confirm what’s needed. The venue’s agreement is needed too.
Is the food suitable for children?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
How does taco bar hire 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.
Are plates and napkins included?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Can you keep it mild?
It’s up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
What taco bar hire costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- What the venue already provides
- Distance and access to the venue
- How long we’re needed on site
- Your choice of food and drinks
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
