Taco bar hire in Shenley, from our food truck or trailer
Truck and trailer bookings usually suit around 50 to 400 guests, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Share your headcount and we’ll size the taco bar to match. At family celebrations and evening receptions, we can serve slow-cooked fillings kept hot, pickled onions and toppings and burrito bowls for your guests.
Near Shenley, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

FAQs for Shenley
Which station is closest to Shenley?
Guests can use Milton Keynes Central station, about 1.6 miles north-east of Shenley.
Could you set up a taco bar in a hall near Shenley?
Yes, if the venue allows outside caterers. We need a short route from where we park to the room, and space for the station and a queue.
What happens if it rains?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Where do you cater?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire.
Can you set up where a truck cannot get in?
The taco bar can be served from a table or station away from the truck. We still need somewhere close to unload our vehicle, and the venue has to agree.
Do you have gluten-free options?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
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.
