Taco bar hire for your event in Chilbolton
We bring taco bars to events in and around Chilbolton: marquees, barns, gardens, halls and workplaces, wherever there is room for the table. It works well for evening wedding receptions and anniversary parties, with warm corn and flour tortillas, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and a build-your-own taco bar.
Near Chilbolton, a marquee or barn makes a good home for a taco bar. We set up the station and our team runs it. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.
What happens on the day
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain doesn’t generally stop us serving, but guests will need somewhere covered. A December taco bar in Chilbolton will be in the dark from about 4:00pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. In late June, the light holds until around 9:25pm.
- Send us your date, where the taco bar will go, numbers and dietary needs.
- We plan the fillings and toppings with you and quote for them.
- 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
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve

What else we do in Chilbolton
Planning for every diet
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included. To get it right:
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
- Collect dietary needs with your replies
- Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
We get there early enough to unload, lay out the table and heat everything through.
Burrito bowls sit well on the bar for anyone avoiding tortillas.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- The venue’s agreement for the taco bar and our vehicle
- A flat spot for the taco-bar station
- A sheltered spot if we’re serving outside
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.
Menu ideas
- Vegan fillings
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Two to four fillings
- Tortilla chips
Prices and what affects them
We’ll give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- How many guests we’re serving
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- What the venue already provides
Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Details that help

How it compares
Next to a hog roast or carvery, a taco bar handles vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests without separate plates. There’s 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. Contact us for a quote.
What you get with us
- Access, space and power checked in advance
- Served fresh from our truck or trailer
- Tacos, burritos and a drinks bar
- Menus for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests

Common questions in Chilbolton
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
Yes, with the venue’s permission. We need a short route from where we park to the room, and space for the station and a queue.
Is Chilbolton close to London?
It’s about 63 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Do you need power and water?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
Do you take everything away?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll talk it through.
Do you stay to run the taco bar?
The taco bar is served from a table or station by our staff, so you don’t need helpers. When service ends, we clear it away.
