How our taco bar hire works in Compton
With a taco bar, everything is laid out in one place: warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Guests pick up a plate and build their own. We serve pickled onions and toppings, a build-your-own taco bar and guacamole, and it’s a good fit for wedding meals and garden parties.
Near Compton, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we will confirm power and water with you. We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.
Prices and what affects them
We quote for your event, which reflects:
- Serving staff
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Whether you need disposables
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The address or venue name
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, tell us about it on our contact page.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Fit the bar into your running order
- Include a vegan filling on the bar
- Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
Each dish is labelled, and allergen information is kept at the bar.
For larger groups, ask about a second serving point.

Your questions about taco bar hire in Compton
Is it possible to have you in Pucks Oak Barn and McAlmont Reserves?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Which station should guests use for Compton?
Guests can use Farncombe station, about 1.6 miles south-east of Compton.
Who looks after the taco bar?
We set up and stay to keep the bar hot and stocked through service.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will suggest mild options.
How does a taco bar work?
Guests take a plate and fill their tortillas from the dishes on the bar. We run the bar from set-up to pack-down.
Planning the serving area
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- Space for a serving table on level ground
- Room for guests to queue along the table
- A clear route from the vehicle to the serving spot
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.
