About our taco bar hire in Gallowstree Common
We can serve the taco bar next to the truck or trailer, or as a separate station. Where a vehicle can’t reach the serving spot, we unload nearby and set the table up there, with the venue’s agreement. It works well for barn parties and garden parties, with pickled onions and toppings, fresh salsas and guacamole.
Near Gallowstree Common, a marquee or barn makes a good home for a taco bar. Our staff set up the station and run it through service. You will know what’s included before you book: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

The closest is Tilehurst station, roughly 3.3 miles away.
How long are you on site?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.

Of course. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.

Yes, we do. Our drinks bar can be booked on its own or with food. For alcohol, we will talk licensing through with you and your venue.
Who looks after the taco bar?
The taco bar is served from a table or station by our staff, so your hosts do not need to. We pack it away afterwards.
Can you keep it mild?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.

Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
