Questions from Shenington
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of Holy Trinity?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
Yes, with the venue’s permission. Tell us about the parking, the doors and the space for the station.
How does taco bar hire work?
Each guest builds tacos from the fillings, salsas and toppings laid out. We run the bar from set-up to pack-down.
What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
How long do you serve for?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. The length of service is agreed when you book.
Can you run a bar?
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.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
Is the food very hot?
That is your choice: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
Taco bar hire in Shenington, from our truck or trailer
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. It suits engagement and anniversary parties and summer garden parties, with pickled onions and toppings, warm corn and flour tortillas and a build-your-own taco bar.
In a small place like Shenington, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Comparing your options
For a meal that is hands-on for guests but not for you, a taco bar suits events well. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.

The process
Service is quick and friendly: we serve from the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. Around midsummer it stays light in Shenington until about 9:30pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is typically served in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- Together we choose what goes on the bar.
- The venue confirms where the bar goes and where we park.
- Our staff set out the bar and guests build their own tacos.
- When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Find out what power and water are available

About the menu
Guacamole
Guacamole goes quickly on a taco bar.
Toppings
The toppings are where guests make each taco their own, and dairy-free choices are kept apart.
Planning for every diet
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Flag any guest with coeliac disease
- Send us allergy details in writing
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Ask the venue where we can park to unload
We get there early enough to unload, lay out the table and heat everything through.
Loaded nachos make a good starter while the bar is set up.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
