Taco bar hire in Chilworth, from our food truck or trailer
A taco bar suits mixed diets well, as fillings and toppings are kept in separate dishes. We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, plus allergen information for every dish. We serve fresh salsas, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and a build-your-own taco bar, which works well for leaving and retirement parties and office lunches.
Near Chilworth, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. You will know what’s included before booking: menu, timings and any add-ons.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Confirm any allergies to us by email
- Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
- Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
- Include a vegan filling on the bar
Our staff stand behind the bar to top up dishes and help guests.
Extra salsas, from mild to hot, let guests choose their own heat.
What’s on the menu
Guacamole
Freshly made guacamole with lime.
Salsas
Guests add as much heat as they like.

Step by step
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Winter evenings in Chilworth close in by about 4:00pm, so set the station up where the lighting is good. 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.
- Together we fix the spot for the taco bar and a nearby place for our vehicle.
- 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
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
