What happens on the day
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. A December taco bar in Colthrop will be in the dark from about 4:00pm, so set the station up where the lighting is good. In late June, the light holds until around 9:25pm.

Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Parking and the route in
- The length of service
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
Details that help
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Where the event is
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
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.
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.
Questions from Colthrop
Which station is closest to Colthrop?
The closest is Thatcham station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
We’re having a ceremony at St Mary'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 will check the access.
Is a taco bar suitable for a big group?
That depends on your timings and the event. As a guide, our bookings typically fall around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.
How much is a food truck for an event?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
Can the taco bar cater for special diets?
We plan vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
Can guests build tacos at a wedding breakfast?
A taco bar makes a relaxed, sociable wedding meal. Service is timed around speeches and photos. Read our taco bar guide for ideas.
Is the food made fresh?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Organising for someone else?
Throwing a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about access, and we’ll let you know if it’s a good fit.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Colthrop? Service from a truck or trailer is quick, even for a crowd, and the menu can suit most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.
Why choose taco bar hire in Colthrop?
Plated meals depend on a kitchen and a team of waiting staff. A taco bar needs a serving spot, somewhere close to unload and the venue’s agreement, and power and water are confirmed with each booking. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
