About our taco bar hire in North Hinksey
The taco bar works for a wedding breakfast, a party or a working lunch. Building your own is quick, which keeps the line moving. We serve a build-your-own taco bar, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and burrito bowls, and it suits family get-togethers and engagement and anniversary parties.
In and around North Hinksey, a taco bar works beside the truck or in a hall nearby. Where access is tight, the truck stays nearby and the station goes where your guests are. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Organising for someone else?
If you’re booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Decide where the table goes before the day
- Include a dietary question on your invitations
- Ask the venue where we can park to unload
- Flag any guest with coeliac disease
A covered spot keeps the bar and guests dry if it rains, so plan somewhere sheltered if you can.
Nachos to share can keep guests going before the bar opens.
Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.

Common questions in North Hinksey
We’re having a ceremony at St Peter and St Paul: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Which station is closest to North Hinksey?
The closest is Oxford station, roughly 1 mile away.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll check the licensing with you.
What about power on site?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we will confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
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.
Can you do gluten-free food?
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 is a build-your-own taco bar?
Guests take a plate and fill their tortillas from the dishes on the bar. Our staff look after the bar throughout.
