Taco bar hire in Charvil
Taco bar hire in Charvil, from our food truck or trailer
A taco bar suits mixed diets well, as fillings and toppings are kept in separate dishes. We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. On the menu are slow-cooked fillings kept hot, burrito bowls and pickled onions and toppings, and it’s a good fit for family get-togethers and wedding evening food.
A place like Charvil may have a hall or a club nearby if your garden is small; the station needs a level surface, the venue’s permission and somewhere to unload. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
How the day works
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. From late May to late September, sunset in Charvil moves from about 8:55pm to 7:05pm. If the taco bar is outdoors and runs later, tell us what lighting the venue has.
- Start with your date, venue and guest numbers.
- Together we choose what goes on the bar.
- The venue confirms where the bar goes and where we park.
- Our staff set out the bar and guests build their own tacos.
- When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Give us a contact for the day

Charvil questions
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Loddon Nature Reserve?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Could you serve our guests after a service at St Patrick's Church?
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 will check the access.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Is a taco bar good for vegans and gluten-free guests?
Keeping each dish separate makes mixed diets easier, though we cannot guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll suggest the best set-up.
How long do you serve for?
That depends on your event and menu. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
Can you cater in a back garden?
That 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.
Planning for every diet
We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
- Agree the serving spot with your venue early
- Include a dietary question on your invitations
- Plan the taco bar around speeches and timings
We arrive with time to unload and set the bar up before guests eat.
Our drinks bar can sit alongside the taco bar for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you.
What’s on the menu
Hot fillings
A few fillings give guests plenty of choice, including a vegan one. You choose them with us.
Warm tortillas
Soft corn and flour tortillas, kept warm so there is always one ready. Corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.
Planning the serving area
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Room nearby to park and unload our vehicle
- A level area for the taco-bar table
- A clear area in front of the station
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
On the menu in Charvil
- Two to four fillings
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Vegan fillings
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Tortilla chips

For taco bar hire in RG10, we plan around your venue and the route in. Whether your event is on Old Bath Road, Wenlock Edge and Pipistrelle Way or a nearby road, we will plan where to park and serve.

Should I do it myself?

Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
For event organisers in Charvil
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
How it compares
The difference between a taco bar and truck service is who builds the taco. From the truck, we put each order together; at the bar, guests build their own. There is no one-size-fits-all price for taco bar hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.
