How our taco bar hire works in Newtown Common
A taco bar puts the whole spread on one table: tortillas kept warm, fillings kept hot, and bowls of salsa, guacamole and toppings. Each guest takes a plate and fills it their way. We serve warm corn and flour tortillas, a build-your-own taco bar and pickled onions and toppings, and it’s a good fit for back-garden gatherings and barn parties.
In a small place like Newtown Common, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. 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. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Diets, allergies and planning
Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included. To make it work smoothly:
- Set out seating near the bar
- Include a dietary question on your invitations
- Confirm any allergies to us by email
- Agree the serving spot with your venue early
Staff stay at the taco bar to refill bowls and answer questions about fillings and allergens.
Loaded nachos make a good starter while the bar is set up.
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, and power and water are confirmed with each booking. 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.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
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.

Your questions about taco bar hire in Newtown Common
Which station is closest to Newtown Common?
Guests can use Newbury station, about 2.2 miles north of Newtown Common.
Is Newtown Common close to London?
It is about 54 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
What does taco bar hire cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Send us the details for a quote.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
How do you handle dietary needs at the taco bar?
Keeping each dish separate makes mixed diets easier, though we cannot guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Can we have a taco bar at our wedding?
The taco bar can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. Timings are agreed with you and your venue, and guests build their own plates.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
