Taco bar hire in Oliver's Battery, served fresh
Our staff set up the taco bar and look after it through service: warming tortillas, keeping fillings hot and refilling the salsas as they go. Your hosts can stay with their guests. Popular choices include burrito bowls, a build-your-own taco bar and warm corn and flour tortillas, which works well for leaving and retirement parties and milestone birthdays.
In a small place like Oliver's Battery, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If the truck can’t get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk.

Oliver's Battery questions
Is Oliver's Battery close to London?
It’s about 63 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Saint Mark's?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
How do you handle dietary needs at the taco bar?
Keeping each dish separate makes mixed diets easier, but we cannot promise an allergen-free kitchen. Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Can you keep it mild?
That is your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
Who clears up?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Can you serve in the rain?
Rain doesn’t usually stop service from the truck or trailer. It is worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Are plates and napkins included?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.

Can I do a taco night myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
