Taco bar hire in Hermitage, from our food truck or trailer
Our truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are quoted case by case. Share your headcount and we’ll size the taco bar to match. For evening receptions and wedding breakfasts, we’ll put together a menu of warm corn and flour tortillas, guacamole and pickled onions and toppings and more.
Near Hermitage, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we will confirm power and water with you. You will know what’s included before booking: menu, timings and any add-ons.

Common questions in Hermitage
Which station is closest to Hermitage?
Guests can use Newbury Racecourse station, about 4 miles south of Hermitage.
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
Yes, with the venue’s permission. Tell us about the parking, the doors and the space for the station.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a picture of the access and the space.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
Do you come to Hermitage?
We do. Hermitage is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Is the food very hot?
It’s up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not typically stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Our truck and trailer service usually suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
Events we cater in Hermitage
It gets people talking: guests compare fillings and swap topping ideas as they go.
In Hermitage and nearby, we can cater all sorts of events. Some of the most common are:
- Milestone birthdays
- Wedding meals
- Back-garden gatherings
- Office lunches
Historic houses near Hermitage include Shaw House (3.4 miles south-west). Historic venues often limit where vehicles can go, so ask whether a taco bar station could be set up inside while our truck or trailer parks further off.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the price includes, item by item
- Whether travel is included
- Whether VAT is included
- Staff numbers and hours
Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Send us allergy details in writing
- Ensure one filling is vegan
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first
Fillings are kept hot and tortillas warmed in batches, so the bar stays fresh from the first plate to the last.
Tell us if you need plates and cutlery and we will set out the options in your quote.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
What affects the price in Hermitage
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of people
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Timings and hours
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.
What to tell us
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of where we’d park
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- Expected numbers
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. Contact us for a quote: just tell us about it on our contact page.
What’s on the menu
Salsas
Salsa lets everyone pick their own heat.
Guacamole
No taco bar is complete without guacamole, so we keep it topped up.
