The process
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. Winter evenings in Old Basing close in by about 4:00pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Begin with the date and headcount.
- We agree a menu that covers every diet.
- We fix timings with you and the venue.
- Service starts when your running order says.
- We clear our station when service ends.

Taco bar hire for your event in Old Basing
A taco bar puts the whole spread on one table: warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Each guest takes a plate and fills it their way. At marquee parties and retirement parties, we’ll put together a menu of fresh salsas, burrito bowls and a build-your-own taco bar and more.
Around Old Basing, a taco bar can stand beside our truck on a drive or lawn. Where access is tight, the truck stays nearby and the station goes where your guests are, as long as we can unload within a short walk. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.
Planning for every diet
We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests. To get it right:
- Send us allergy details in writing
- Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
- Let us know about anyone who is coeliac
- Tell us when guests should eat
If the schedule slips, tell us and we will hold everything hot until you are ready.
Ask us whether a second station would help with big numbers.

Old Basing: your questions answered
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Eastrop Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you do parties at home?
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 big an event can you cater?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but around 50 to 400 guests is the usual range. For anything outside that, ask us.
What about power on site?
Let us know what’s available on site, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we will confirm what we need with your quote.
What does a taco bar cost?
We quote for each taco bar, based on numbers, fillings, the venue and timings. Contact us for a quote.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
Space, access and the venue
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- Room nearby to park and unload our vehicle
- The venue’s or landowner’s agreement
- A spot next to the truck or trailer when both are booked
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
Popular choices
- Vegan fillings
- Two to four fillings
- Tortilla chips
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Salsas and guacamole
- Pickled onions and toppings
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
