Taco bar hire for your event in Chillerton
Toppings make the bar: lime wedges, coriander, pickled onions, cheese and crema. On the menu are a build-your-own taco bar, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and guacamole, which works well for back-garden gatherings and leaving dos.
In a small place like Chillerton, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, though we still need to unload within a short walk. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

FAQs for Chillerton
Could you set up a taco bar in a hall near Chillerton?
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.
We’re having a ceremony at St. Olave's Church: can you cater afterwards?
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’ll check the access.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
Can we have a taco bar at our wedding?
A taco bar makes a relaxed, sociable wedding meal. We fit it around your speeches and photos. There’s more in our taco bar guide.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we will talk it through.

Planning the serving area
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- The venue’s or landowner’s agreement
- A clear route from the vehicle to the serving spot
- A spot next to the truck or trailer when both are booked
Out-of-the-way places like Chillerton take a little more planning, so let us know about tracks, gates and power in good time.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.

- 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.
- Our staff set up the station, keep the fillings hot and top up the bar through service.
- After the last tacos, we clear the station away.
