About our taco bar hire in Chegworth
The bar can stand beside our food truck or trailer, or on its own. Where a vehicle can’t reach the serving spot, we unload nearby and set the table up there, as long as the venue agrees. On the menu are fresh salsas, pickled onions and toppings and a build-your-own taco bar, and it is a good fit for staff parties and garden parties.
For a rural spot like Chegworth, 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’ll 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.
Before you choose a spot
If a space isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- Room for guests to queue along the table
- A level area for the taco-bar table
- A parking or loading spot near the serving area
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
Menu ideas
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Two to four fillings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Vegan fillings
- Tortilla chips
- Corn and flour tortillas
The process
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. A December taco bar in Chegworth will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. In late June, the light holds until around 9:15pm.
- Tell us the date, the venue, how many guests and any diets.
- We suggest fillings, salsas and toppings for the bar and send a quote.
- We agree where the table goes and where our vehicle can unload.
- On the day our staff lay out the bar and keep it stocked while guests build their tacos.
- Once guests have eaten, we take down the bar and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park

Is taco bar hire right for your event?
Next to a hog roast or carvery, a taco bar caters for vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free guests from one table. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.

Why choose taco bar hire in Chegworth?
The bar can go where a vehicle can’t, such as a courtyard, a barn or a hall, with the venue’s agreement.
We can help if you’re planning any of the following:
- Anniversary parties
- Team socials
- Leaving and retirement parties
- Evening wedding receptions
Nearby historic houses include Leeds Castle (0.9 miles west) and Stoneacre (3.2 miles west). Estates and listed houses set their own rules for caterers, so check where a taco bar station and our vehicle would be permitted before booking.
Comparing caterers
- What the caterer needs from your venue
- How late numbers can change
- VAT, if it applies
- Staff numbers and hours
Should I do it myself?
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 enjoy the party, let us serve.
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.
Planning for every diet
We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
- Send us allergy details in writing
- Include a dietary question on your invitations
- Give us separate numbers for children
If the schedule slips, tell us and we will hold everything hot until you are ready.
Burrito bowls sit well on the bar for anyone avoiding tortillas.
