Taco bar hire in Harpsden Bottom, served fresh
We run the taco bar ourselves: warming tortillas, keeping fillings hot and refilling the salsas as they go. Your hosts can stay with their guests. It works well for leaving and retirement parties and marquee parties, serving warm corn and flour tortillas, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and burrito bowls.
In a hamlet or village like Harpsden Bottom, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. We set up the station and our team runs it; tell us about access and parking. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Before you choose a spot
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- Shelter from rain and sun for an outdoor bar
- Room for the bar alongside the vehicle, if booked together
- A clear area in front of the station
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
What we offer
- Vegan fillings
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Tortilla chips
- Two to four fillings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Corn and flour tortillas
Catering for every guest
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Send us allergy details in writing
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Decide where the table goes before the day
- Check where our vehicle can unload
If speeches or timings run over, we keep the fillings hot and start when you’re ready.
Our truck or trailer can serve later in the day, after the taco bar, quoted with the rest.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Harpsden Bottom: your questions answered
Could you serve in Mill Meadows?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
How far is Harpsden Bottom from London?
About 35 miles from central London.
Do you have gluten-free options?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Can we have a taco bar at our wedding?
A taco bar makes a relaxed, sociable wedding meal. We fit it around your speeches and photos. There is more in our taco bar guide.
How much is a taco bar?
We quote for each taco bar, based on numbers, fillings, the venue and timings. Contact us for a quote.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes.
Do you need electricity?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.

How the day works
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a picture of the space if you’re unsure. Around midsummer it stays light in Harpsden Bottom until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan good lighting over the station.
