Taco bar hire for your event in Iffley
You choose the fillings with us, perhaps carnitas, chicken tinga or birria, plus a vegan choice such as spiced mushroom or black bean and sweet potato. It suits staff parties and wedding day food, serving burrito bowls, pickled onions and toppings and fresh salsas.
In a smaller place like Iffley, a taco bar in your garden or a local hall keeps things simple. Our staff set up the station and guests build their own tacos. Let us know about the drive and parking. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Comparing your options
Plated meals depend on a kitchen and a team of waiting staff. For a taco bar, we need a serving spot, a nearby place to unload and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book. Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you choose what goes in.

Common questions in Iffley
Could you serve in South Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St James?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
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 plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Is the food made fresh?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t typically stop service from the truck or trailer. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
What does a taco bar cost?
There is no price list, because no two events are the same. Share your plans and you will get a quote. See what Mexican catering costs for background.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Send us a picture of the access and the space.
Who looks after the taco bar?
Our staff set up the bar, keep the fillings hot and top up the dishes.
Working with your venue
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Dietary needs and planning tips
We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Send us allergy details in writing
- Fit the bar into your running order
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
If speeches or timings run over, we keep the fillings hot and start when you are ready.
Ask us whether a second station would help with big numbers.
The process
Your timings come first. If things run behind, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. Evenings in Iffley stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm. After dusk, lights over the station help guests build their tacos.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.
- The venue confirms where the bar goes and where we park.
- On the day, guests help themselves while we keep the bar stocked.
- We clear the bar away after service.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

Should I do it myself?
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.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
