About our taco bar hire in Emmbrook
Add burrito bowls, loaded nachos or quesadillas if you’d like more choice. Margaritas and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can be added, with licensing checked with you. Popular choices include a build-your-own taco bar, guacamole and fresh salsas, and it is a good fit for evening receptions and company parties.
Around Emmbrook, a taco bar can stand beside our truck on a drive or lawn. Where access is tight, the truck stays nearby and the station goes where your guests are. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
Common questions in Emmbrook
What’s the nearest station to Emmbrook for guests?
Wokingham station, about 0.9 miles south-east of the centre.
We’re having a ceremony at Woosehill Community Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
Can the taco bar cater for special diets?
There are vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
What do you need at the venue?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
Do you cover Emmbrook?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Emmbrook. To check your date, tell us about it on our contact page.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Our service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are looked at case by case. Tell us your numbers and we’ll plan the bar around them.

Should I do it myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

- Choose at least one vegan filling
- Agree the serving spot with your venue early
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first
Our staff stand behind the bar to top up dishes and help guests.
Book our drinks bar with the taco bar with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
The menu, item by item
Toppings
Toppings let guests finish their tacos their way.
Vegan fillings
Black bean and sweet potato, or spiced mushrooms.
Step by step
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. Around midsummer it stays light in Emmbrook until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Start with the essentials: the date, venue, headcount and diets.
- You get a suggested taco-bar spread and a quote.
- We agree where the table goes and where our vehicle can unload.
- On the day our staff lay out the bar and keep it stocked while guests build their tacos.
- Once guests have eaten, we take down the bar and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
