Taco bar hire near Shellingford
Taco bar hire in Shellingford, from our truck or trailer
Taco bars suit wedding breakfasts, parties and office lunches alike. Building your own is quick, which keeps the line moving, and nobody waits long. At barn parties and leaving and retirement parties, we can serve fresh salsas, burrito bowls and a build-your-own taco bar and more.
Somewhere as small as Shellingford, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If the truck can’t get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, though we still need to unload within a short walk. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

What affects the price in Shellingford
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Staff for serving and the bar
- Whether you need disposables
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Travel, parking and access
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. Contact us for a quote: just tell us about it on our contact page.
Questions from Shellingford
Do you set up taco bars indoors in places like Shellingford?
We can, as long as the venue agrees. The station needs room for a queue, and we need to park and unload close to the door.
Will you travel to a small place like Shellingford?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
Do you stay to run the taco bar?
Our staff set up the bar, keep the fillings hot and top up the dishes through service.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
It depends on the event and the timings. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.
How is the food prepared?
We slow-cook fillings ahead, then finish them and keep them hot at your event. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Is taco bar hire right for your event?
Compared with a hog roast or carvery, a taco bar handles vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests without separate plates. Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you can choose what you need.

How the day works
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can enjoy your event. In Shellingford, the sun sets at about 9:30pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.
- The venue confirms where the bar goes and where we park.
- On the day, guests help themselves while we keep the bar stocked.
- When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
