Near Rowstock, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day.

FAQs for Rowstock
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Which station should guests use for Rowstock?
Guests can use Didcot Parkway station, about 3 miles east of Rowstock.
Can you run a bar?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. For alcohol, we’ll go through the licensing with you and your venue.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
Do you need electricity?
Tell us what the site has, for example a supply from the venue, and we’ll confirm what we need with your quote.
Can you set up where a truck can’t get in?
The taco bar can be served from a table or station away from the truck. We still need to park our vehicle nearby to unload, and the venue’s agreement.
Is a taco bar suitable for a big group?
It depends on the event and the timings. As a guide, our bookings generally fall around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.
Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
The process
When we arrive, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, planned around your event. Evenings in Rowstock stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm. Once it gets dark, guests need to see what they’re adding to their tacos.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Include a dietary question on your invitations
- Flag any guest with coeliac disease
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Confirm any allergies to us by email
Staff stay at the taco bar to refill bowls and answer questions about fillings and allergens.
Add burrito bowls for guests who’d rather skip tortillas.
Can I do a taco night myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
