Taco bar hire in Emmington: local tips
Emmington is about 3 miles south-east of Thame, in Oxfordshire. Wherever your event is in the OX39 area, we can serve your guests, as long as there is access. We cater in all 443 towns and villages across Oxfordshire. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Emmington to High Wycombe (10 miles away).
Historic houses near Emmington include Adwell House (3 miles south-west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, ask early whether a staffed taco bar is allowed and where we could unload. When the service is at a church such as Church of St Nicholas, the taco bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. Venues in and around the Chilterns National Landscape, within about 5 miles of Emmington, sometimes have strict rules about catering and vehicles. Check with yours where a taco bar station and our truck or trailer could go.
We cater events across OX39. We also serve at events in Sydenham (1 mile south-west), Kingston Stert (1 mile south-west), Chinnor (1 mile south-east), Towersey (2 miles north) and Thame (3 miles north-west). We also cater in nearby towns such as Oxford (13 miles west), Didcot (15 miles south-west), Abingdon-on-Thames (15 miles west), Henley-on-Thames (13 miles south), Benson (10 miles south-west) and Headington Quarry (12 miles west).
Other landmarks nearby include Thame Museum (3.1 miles north-west) and Thame Community Hospital (2.6 miles north-west). Green spaces nearby include Bald Hill and Oakley Hill nature reserve.
- Local pubs include The Inn at Emmington (within half a mile south-east)
About our taco bar hire in Emmington
With a taco bar, everything is laid out in one place: warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Each guest takes a plate and fills it their way. At anniversary parties and birthday celebrations, we can serve fresh salsas, a build-your-own taco bar and warm corn and flour tortillas for your guests.
Somewhere as small as Emmington, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Should I do it myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Why choose taco bar hire in Emmington?
Pizza is a safe choice, but a taco bar lets every guest design their own plate. Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.

Emmington: your questions answered
Do you cater in villages like Emmington?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Nicholas: 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.

Is a taco bar right for a wedding?
The taco bar can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. Timings are agreed with you and your venue, and guests build their own plates.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. For anything outside that, ask us.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
