Taco bar hire in Emmer Green, from our truck or trailer
Taco bars suit wedding breakfasts, parties and office lunches alike. Building your own is quick, which keeps the line moving. It suits team lunches and team socials, serving fresh salsas, guacamole and pickled onions and toppings.
Near Emmer Green, a hall or club may suit a taco bar if your own space is tight; we need the venue’s permission, a level spot and somewhere to unload. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.
What we need at the venue
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Space for a serving table on level ground
- Permission from the venue for us to set up
- Room for the bar alongside the vehicle, if booked together
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
On the menu in Emmer Green

- Two to four fillings

How it compares
A taco bar and a truck serve the same food in different ways. At the hatch, we make each order; at the bar, guests build their own. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
Why us?
- Options for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests
- Menus chosen with you
- Allergen information for every dish

Your questions about taco bar hire in Emmer Green
Which station is closest to Emmer Green?
Guests can use Reading station, about 1.7 miles south of Emmer Green.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Barnabas Church Hall?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
How long are you on site?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
Do you need power and water?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we’ll park.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
Is the taco bar staffed?
We run the station ourselves, so your hosts don’t need to. We pack it away afterwards.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos, taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas, plus salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
How is the food prepared?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
What affects the price in Emmer Green
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Travel, parking and access
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Your choice of food and drinks
- What the venue already provides
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Our quote sets out what’s included.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- The date and time of the event
- What you’d like on the menu
- The address or venue name
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. To send your details, use our quote form.
Catering for every guest
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Flag any guest with coeliac disease
- Count children separately
- Agree the serving spot with your venue early
- Put guests with serious allergies in touch with us early
We get there early enough to unload, lay out the table and heat everything through.
