Taco bar hire for your event in Ilmer
The bar can stand beside our truck or trailer, or on its own. If the truck can’t get to the spot, we park close by, unload and carry the bar in, with the venue’s agreement. It suits evening wedding receptions and engagement parties, serving slow-cooked fillings kept hot, guacamole and pickled onions and toppings.
Near Ilmer, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we will confirm power and water with you. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Ilmer questions
Which station is closest to Ilmer?
The closest is Monks Risborough station, roughly 2.5 miles away.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Peter?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, with allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
How long are you on site?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
Who looks after the taco bar?
We run the station ourselves, so your hosts don’t need to. We pack it away afterwards.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Decide where the table goes before the day
- Flag any guest with coeliac disease
- Put guests with serious allergies in touch with us early
- Set out seating near the bar
A covered spot keeps the bar and guests dry if it rains, so plan somewhere sheltered if you can.
Loaded nachos make a good starter while the bar is set up.
Planners, venues and businesses
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Let us know how long the break is.
Hosting a party at home? Send us a photo of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we will tell you honestly whether a truck or trailer will fit.
What happens on the day
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. In Ilmer, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is generally served in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- Together we choose what goes on the bar.
- We confirm the table spot and where we’ll unload.
- Our staff set out the bar and guests build their own tacos.
- When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers

Taco bar hire in Ilmer: local tips
Ilmer is about 4 miles east of Thame, in Buckinghamshire. For taco bar hire in Ilmer, we can serve in gardens, fields, venues, car parks and courtyards with access. Ilmer is one of 263 places in Buckinghamshire we cover. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Ilmer to High Wycombe (about 10 miles away).
When the service is at a church such as Church of St Peter, the taco bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. The Chilterns National Landscape is within about 6 miles of Ilmer, with barns and country venues that could host a taco bar. Where vehicles cannot reach the room, the station can be set up there with the venue’s agreement, but we still need to unload close by.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
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. Our taco bar guide explains how.
