Taco bar hire for your event in Headington
We can serve the taco bar next to the truck or trailer, or as a separate station. Where a vehicle cannot reach the serving spot, we unload nearby and set the table up there, as long as the venue agrees. It suits garden parties and wedding meals, with fresh salsas, a build-your-own taco bar and pickled onions and toppings.
Near Headington, a hall or club may suit a taco bar if your own space is tight; the station needs a level surface, the venue’s permission and somewhere to unload. We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Planning for every diet
With a little notice, most diets are easy. We suggest:
- Include a dietary question on your invitations
- Let us know about anyone who is coeliac
- Fit the bar into your running order
- Ensure guests have somewhere to sit
Indoors or under cover, the bar carries on whatever the weather, so plan somewhere sheltered if you can.
For larger groups, ask about a second serving point, quoted for your event.

Hot fillings
Slow-cooked fillings kept hot on the bar, such as carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria.
Salsas
Guests add as much heat as they like.
Organising for someone else?
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Taco bar hire or something else?
Sandwich platters are convenient but forgettable. A hot taco bar gives guests something to gather round. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
