Taco bar hire near Newbury
Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Taco bar hire for your event in Newbury
Our truck and trailer service normally 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 works well for evening receptions and garden parties, with a build-your-own taco bar, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and pickled onions and toppings.
Somewhere as small as Newbury, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.

The process
On the day, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. We’re ready to serve at the agreed time, so everything runs to your schedule. Evenings in Newbury stay light until about 9:15pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm. Once it gets dark, guests need to see what they’re adding to their tacos.
- Begin with the date and headcount.
- We agree a menu that covers every diet.
- Nearer the date, we confirm timings and the serving spot.
- Service starts when your running order says.
- Once service is over, we pack away.
How to prepare

Events we cater in Newbury
A full taco bar looks inviting: bright salsas, fresh guacamole and bowls of toppings in a row make an easy centrepiece.
Whatever you’re celebrating in Newbury, the serving truck can be a highlight. We can cater:
- Milestone birthdays
- Working lunches
- Wedding evening food
- Wedding breakfasts
Close to Newbury are historic houses such as Belmont House and Gardens (4.3 miles south-east). Historic venues often limit where vehicles can go, so ask whether a taco bar station could be set up inside while our food truck or trailer parks further off.

- Where to see their hygiene rating
- How each diet is kept separate
- When payment is due

About the menu
Warm tortillas

Guacamole
Freshly made guacamole with lime.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- What’s on the menu
- The length of service
- Whether you need disposables
- Travel, parking and access
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we will set out what’s included.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- What power and water the site has
- The address or venue name
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.
Common questions in Newbury
Do you come out to small places like Newbury?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Is it possible to have you in Cromers Wood?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we will advise.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
That’s confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Tell us about your space and numbers and we will suggest the best set-up.
How many guests can you serve?
Our truck and trailer service generally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book.
Space, access and the venue
Many gardens, fields and venues can take a truck or trailer, but a few things matter:
- A clear area in front of the station
- Somewhere close by for our vehicle to park and unload
- A clear route from the vehicle to the serving spot
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
What we offer
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Pickled onions and toppings
