Taco bar hire for Kidlington events
About our taco bar hire in Kidlington
Our truck and trailer service usually 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. It suits barn and marquee parties and wedding day food, with burrito bowls, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and warm corn and flour tortillas.
In a smaller place like Kidlington, 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. Tell us where we can park and unload. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

About the menu
Guacamole
Guacamole made fresh, with lime and coriander.
Toppings
The toppings are where guests make each taco their own, and dairy-free choices are kept apart.
Planning the serving area
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- Room for guests to queue along the table
- Somewhere close by for our vehicle to park and unload
- Room for the bar alongside the vehicle, if booked together
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
What we offer
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Two to four fillings
- Tortilla chips
- Salsas and guacamole
- Vegan fillings
- Pickled onions and toppings
Comparing your options
Pizza is the usual crowd-pleaser, but a taco bar gives guests more say over what they eat. Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.

What happens on the day
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. Around midsummer it stays light in Kidlington until about 9:30pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is usually served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Begin with the date and headcount.
- We plan fillings and toppings around your guests’ diets.
- We fix timings with you and the venue.
- Service starts when your running order says.
- Once service is over, we pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Find out what power and water are available
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Tell us when you want service to start
