Taco bar hire in Oakshott
What taco bar hire costs
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel, parking and access
- Food, drinks or both
- Staff for serving and the bar
- How many guests we’re serving
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Your quote confirms the full price.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- The address or venue name
- Expected numbers
- The date and time of the event
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, menu ideas and access. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
How our taco bar hire works in Oakshott
With a taco bar, everything is laid out in one place: warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Guests pick up a plate and build their own. For wedding evening food and team socials, we will put together a menu of warm corn and flour tortillas, a build-your-own taco bar and pickled onions and toppings for your guests.
For a rural spot like Oakshott, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we will confirm power and water with you. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
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. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Oakshott questions
How far is Oakshott from London?
It is about 48 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the South Downs National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we’ll keep their options separate.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.
What is a build-your-own taco bar?
Each guest builds tacos from the fillings, salsas and toppings laid out. We run the bar from set-up to pack-down.
Can you cater in a back garden?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
How spicy is the food?
We can keep it mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Why choose taco bar hire in Oakshott?
A taco bar feeds a crowd steadily, which suits a wedding breakfast or a lunch break.
Whatever you are celebrating in Oakshott, the serving truck can be a highlight. We can cater:
- Wedding meals
- Team lunches
- Staff parties
- Birthday celebrations
When the service is at a church such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, the taco bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church.
What your quote should include
- How bad weather is handled
- Any travel, parking or access charges
- What the price includes, item by item
- The caterer’s food hygiene rating
Comparing your options
The difference between a taco bar and truck service is who builds the taco. From the truck, we put each order together; at the bar, guests build their own. Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

What’s on the menu

Hot fillings
Fillings cooked ahead and kept hot, perhaps chicken tinga, birria or carnitas.
How the day works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. In Oakshott, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is generally served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Start with your date, venue and guest numbers.
- Together we choose what goes on the bar.
- We confirm the table spot and where we will unload.
- On the day, guests help themselves while we keep the bar stocked.
- We clear the bar away after service.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Tell us what power and water the site has
