Taco bar hire in Compton, from our truck or trailer
Our truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are quoted case by case. Share your headcount and we’ll size the taco bar to match. For leaving dos and barn and marquee parties, we will put together a menu of guacamole, fresh salsas and burrito bowls.
In a hamlet or village like Compton, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. Our staff set up the station and run it through service. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

With the North Wessex Downs National Landscape about a mile away at most, a countryside taco bar is an option from Compton. Rural venues may limit vehicles, so ask where we can park and unload.

How we price taco bar hire
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Distance and access to the venue
- The length of service
- Whether you need disposables
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.
Details that help
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Expected numbers
- The address or venue name

- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
To get a price, just send a quick message through our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we will suggest a menu to suit.
For planners, venues and organisers
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
DIY taco night or 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.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.

Common questions in Compton
Will you travel to a small place like Compton?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Do you cater in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
How much is a food truck for an event?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we’ll reply with a quote.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will include them in the plan.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Ask us when you enquire. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
How spicy is the food?
It’s up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
How big an event can you cater?
Our truck and trailer service generally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
Planning for every diet
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests. To get it right:
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Count children separately
- Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
- Decide where the table goes before the day
Dishes are labelled, with allergen information available at the table.
Nachos to share can keep guests going before the bar opens.
How it compares
A sandwich platter is easy to order but rarely remembered. Warm tortillas and hot fillings give a lunch more to talk about. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: service time, staff, plates and napkins, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we’ll set out what’s included.
