What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. A December taco bar in East Shefford will be in the dark from about 4:00pm, so set the station up where the lighting is good. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Start with the essentials: the date, venue, headcount and diets.
- You get a suggested taco-bar spread and a quote.
- Together we fix the spot for the taco bar and a nearby place for our vehicle.
- We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and guests help themselves.
- After the last tacos, we clear the station away.
How to prepare
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer

Taco bar hire for your event in East Shefford
A taco bar suits mixed diets well, as fillings and toppings are kept in separate dishes. We plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests, plus allergen information for every dish. At christenings and family parties and team socials, we can serve guacamole, pickled onions and toppings and a build-your-own taco bar and more.
Somewhere as small as East Shefford, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If the truck can’t get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

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.
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 closer look at the menu
Guacamole
Guacamole goes quickly on a taco bar, so we keep it topped up.
Salsas
A row of salsas, mild to hot.
Planning for every diet
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Choose at least one vegan filling
- Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
- Check where our vehicle can unload
- Tell us how many children are coming
Staff stay at the taco bar to refill bowls and answer questions about fillings and allergens.
Nachos to share can keep guests going before the bar opens.
Why choose taco bar hire in East Shefford?
Building your own is quick, so a crowd is fed at a steady pace, which suits a wedding breakfast or a lunch break.
Big or small, a truck or trailer works well. Typical bookings include:
- Summer garden parties
- Company parties
- Barn and marquee parties
- Wedding day food
Guests arriving without a car will want to know that Kintbury station is about 4.7 miles away.

East Shefford questions
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
Yes, with the venue’s permission. We need a short route from where we park to the room, and space for the station and a queue.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues 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.
Does the taco bar need the truck on site?
The taco bar can be served from a table or station away from the truck. We still need somewhere close to unload our vehicle, and the venue has to agree.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Do you give allergen information?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
Can the taco bar cater for special diets?
There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.

East Shefford is one of 155 towns and villages in West Berkshire where we can bring taco bar hire. Our nearest city page is Reading, about 20 miles away.
If you’re celebrating after a service at a church like St Thomas' Church, a hall close by could host a staffed taco bar, with the venue’s permission. The North Wessex Downs National Landscape is within about 5 miles of East Shefford, with barns and country venues that could host a taco bar. Where vehicles cannot reach the room, the station can be set up there with the venue’s agreement, but we still need to unload close by.

We also serve at events in Great Shefford (1 mile north-west), Weston (1 mile south-east), Wickham (2 miles south), Shefford Woodlands (2 miles south-west) and East Garston (2 miles north-west).

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The length of service
- The number of people
- Travel, parking and access
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
