Taco bar hire for Chawley events

How our taco bar hire works in Chawley

We run the taco bar ourselves: warming tortillas, keeping fillings hot and refilling the salsas as they go. Nobody from your side needs to lift a spoon. For birthday celebrations and family get-togethers, we will put together a menu of warm corn and flour tortillas, guacamole and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.

For a rural spot like Chawley, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we will confirm power and water with you. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Planning a taco bar in Chawley

Chawley is about 4 miles west of Oxford, in Oxfordshire. We bring taco bar hire to homes, gardens and venues in Chawley. Chawley is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire where we can bring taco bar hire.

If people are travelling in by rail, Oxford station is about 2.4 miles away. Parks such as Raleigh Park usually need the owner’s agreement for catering, even without a truck on the grass, so ask before you plan.

Here we cover the OX2 postcode area, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Cumnor Hill, Chawley Park and Chawley Lane. If your venue is just outside Chawley, we also cover Cumnor (1 mile south-west), Dean Court (1 mile north-east), Botley (1 mile north-east), Filchampstead (1 mile north-west) and Henwood (1 mile south). Within a short drive, we also cover Oxford (4 miles east), Didcot (9 miles south), Bicester (13 miles north-east), Abingdon-on-Thames (4 miles south), Witney (8 miles north-west) and Carterton (12 miles west).

Other landmarks nearby include Oxford Castle and earlier settlement remains (2.6 miles north-east) and Westgate Shopping Centre (2.7 miles east). Not far away are Lashford Lane Fen and Cumnor Hill.

  • Local schools include Matthew Arnold School (0.8 miles north-east)
  • Local pubs include The Vine Inn (0.5 miles west)

Space, access and the venue

Before the day, we’ll agree where we park and serve. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:

  • Space for a serving table on level ground
  • A parking or loading spot near the serving area
  • Room for guests to queue along the table

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 Chawley

  • Salsas and guacamole
  • Two to four fillings

See our prices page and what Mexican catering costs.

What affects the price in Chawley

The price comes down to a few factors:

  • The length of service
  • Travel, parking and access
  • The menu you choose
  • Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food

Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

What we need to know

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:

  • Gate widths, slopes and the ground
  • Diets and allergies you know about
  • Your date and when you want service to start
  • Expected numbers

Still deciding on the menu? That is fine: give us the basics about your event, and we’ll suggest a menu. When you are ready, use our quote form.

Organising for someone else?

For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.

DIY taco night or a caterer?

Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.

Chawley questions

Could you serve in Raleigh 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’ll send what they need from us.

Do you come out to small places like Chawley?

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.

Which areas do you serve?

London and the South East: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire, including Chawley.

How far ahead should we book?

As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.

What food and drinks do you offer?

Mexican street food: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar.

Can you do dairy-free food?

Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll plan the menu around them.

What about power on site?

It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we’ll park.

Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?

Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll recommend how to serve.

How it works

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. Daylight in Chawley runs to about 9:00pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. If the taco bar is outdoors and runs later, tell us what lighting the venue has.

  1. Start with your date, venue and guest numbers.
  2. Together we choose what goes on the bar.
  3. The venue confirms where the bar goes and where we park.
  4. Our staff set out the bar and guests build their own tacos.
  5. When everyone has eaten, we pack up.

Getting ready for the day

  • Tell us when you want service to start
  • Give us a contact for the day
  • Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
