Taco bar hire near Lower Basildon
Taco bar hire in Lower Basildon, from our food truck or trailer
We run the taco bar ourselves: warming tortillas, keeping fillings hot and refilling the salsas as they go. Your hosts can stay with their guests. It suits evening wedding receptions and engagement parties, with fresh salsas, guacamole and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
Somewhere as small as Lower Basildon, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If the truck can’t get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, though we still need to unload within a short walk. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The length of service
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Guest numbers
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.
What to tell us
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- How we drive in and where we can park
- A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.

Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Decide where the table goes before the day
- Ask the venue where we can park to unload
- Plan the taco bar around speeches and timings
- Count children separately
Once guests have eaten, we clear the table and pack up.
A wider range of salsas suits guests who like it mild and those who like it hot.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Why choose taco bar hire in Lower Basildon?
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen, waiting staff and fixed courses. A taco bar needs a serving spot, somewhere close to unload and the venue’s agreement, with power and water confirmed when you book. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for taco bar hire. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
