Taco bar hire in Filchampstead, served fresh

In a small place like Filchampstead, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, though we still need to unload within a short walk.

Your questions about taco bar hire in Filchampstead
Which station is closest to Filchampstead?
Oxford station, about 3.2 miles east of the centre.
Do you cater in villages like Filchampstead?
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.
How is the food prepared?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Can guests build tacos at a wedding breakfast?
A taco bar makes a relaxed, sociable wedding meal. Service is timed around speeches and photos. There’s more in our taco bar guide.
What access do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll recommend how to serve.
What if a vehicle cannot reach the serving spot?
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.
The menu, item by item
Guacamole
No taco bar is complete without guacamole.
Warm tortillas
Corn and flour tortillas, warmed through in batches so there’s always one ready. Corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.
What affects the price in Filchampstead
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The length of service
- The number of people
- Staff for serving and the bar
- What the venue already provides
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- The address or venue name
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Your date and when you want service to start
- A picture of where we’d park
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, menu ideas and access. To send your details, tell us about it on our contact page.

Take a look at our pricing and our guide to catering costs.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Room for guests to queue along the table
- Space beside the truck or trailer if you’re booking both
- Easy access from where we unload to the table
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.
What we offer
- Vegan fillings
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Salsas and guacamole
- Two to four fillings
- Tortilla chips
Dietary needs and planning tips
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Ask the venue where we can park to unload
- Confirm any allergies to us by email
- Pick the spot for the taco bar in advance
- Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
We warm tortillas in batches and keep the fillings hot.
Our drinks bar can sit alongside the taco bar for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Should I do it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Organising for someone else?
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
