How our taco bar hire works in Shepherd's Green
A taco bar puts the whole spread on one table: tortillas kept warm, fillings kept hot, and bowls of salsa, guacamole and toppings. Each guest takes a plate and fills it their way. It suits company parties and working lunches, with pickled onions and toppings, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and a build-your-own taco bar.
Near Shepherd's Green, 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. We will check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.

Your questions about taco bar hire in Shepherd's Green
How far is Shepherd's Green from central London?
It’s about 38 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Nicholas?
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 will check the access.
How does a taco bar work?
We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings on a serving table, and each guest builds their own. Our staff keep it hot and topped up.
What do you need at the venue?
A level spot for the serving table, room to queue and somewhere close to unload our vehicle. We confirm power and water when you book.
Do you need electricity?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we’ll park.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of our options. Let us know your numbers and space and we’ll suggest the best set-up.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Planning a taco bar in Shepherd's Green
Shepherd's Green is about 5 miles north of Caversham, in Oxfordshire. Events in Shepherd's Green are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and friendly service on the day.

If people are travelling in by rail, Henley-On-Thames station is about 3.2 miles away.

With the Chilterns National Landscape about 7 miles away at most, a countryside taco bar is an option from Shepherd's Green. Rural venues may limit vehicles, so ask where we can park and unload.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:

- Include a vegan filling on the bar

- Put guests with serious allergies in touch with us early
We arrive with time to unload and set the bar up before guests eat.
Our truck or trailer can serve later in the day, after the taco bar, quoted with the rest.
Comparing your options
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen, waiting staff and fixed courses. For a taco bar, we need a serving spot, a nearby place to unload and the venue’s permission, and power and water are confirmed with each booking. Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you can choose what you need.

Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
