Taco bar hire in Checkendon
How our taco bar hire works in Checkendon
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. Your hosts can stay with their guests. It works well for birthday celebrations and retirement parties, serving slow-cooked fillings kept hot, guacamole and warm corn and flour tortillas.
In a hamlet or village like Checkendon, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. Our staff set up the station and run it through service. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, 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. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Confirm any allergies to us by email
- Collect dietary needs with your replies
- Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
After the last plate, we take the bar down and leave the spot tidy.
Book the truck or trailer for evening food after a daytime taco bar.

Common questions in Checkendon
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Peter and St Paul?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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.
What’s the nearest station to Checkendon for guests?
The closest is Goring & Streatley station, roughly 4.4 miles away.
Is a taco bar suitable for a big group?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are looked at case by case. Tell us your numbers and we’ll plan the bar around them.
Do you give allergen information?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
Can we have a taco bar at our wedding?
A taco bar works well for a relaxed wedding breakfast. Service is timed around speeches and photos. There is more in our taco bar guide.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu, served alongside the meat options.
Is the taco bar staffed?
Our staff set up the bar, keep the fillings hot and top up the dishes through service.
Why choose taco bar hire in Checkendon?
Vegans, vegetarians and gluten-free guests eat from the same table.
Almost any gathering can work with a truck or trailer. In Checkendon, you could book us for occasions like:
