Hosting a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about access, and we will tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
Christmas Common: venues, access and set-up
Christmas Common is about 8 miles south of Thame, in Oxfordshire. From the centre of Christmas Common to the outskirts, taco bar hire works the same way: fresh service from our truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We serve in 443 places in Oxfordshire, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. We cater right across the region, from Christmas Common to High Wycombe (about 9 miles away).
If you’re celebrating after a service at a church like Church of the Nativity, a hall close by could host a staffed taco bar, with the venue’s permission. The Chilterns National Landscape is within about a mile of Christmas Common, with barns and country venues that could host a taco bar. Where vehicles can’t reach the room, the station can be set up there with the venue’s agreement, but we still need to unload close by.
Wherever your event is in OX49, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Other places close to Christmas Common for taco bar hire include Northend (1 mile east), Howe Hill (1 mile south-west), Shirburn (2 miles north-west), Cookley Green (2 miles south-west) and Ibstone (2 miles east).

Do you come to events in the Chilterns National Landscape?

Is Christmas Common close to London?
It’s about 39 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
How spicy is the food?
It is up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Who looks after the taco bar?
Our staff set up the bar, keep the fillings hot and top up the dishes.
What space does a taco bar need?
Tell us about the venue and the spot you have in mind, and we will confirm what’s needed. The venue’s agreement is needed too.
What about power on site?

Catering for every guest
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Confirm any allergies to us by email
- Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
A covered spot keeps the bar and guests dry if it rains, so plan somewhere sheltered if you can.
Tell us if you need plates and cutlery and we will set out the options in your quote.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
What’s on the menu
Guacamole
No taco bar is complete without guacamole.
Hot fillings
A few fillings give guests plenty of choice, including a vegan one. We agree them with you.
- Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
- Tacos and taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas
