Taco bar hire for Silchester events
About our taco bar hire in Silchester
We can serve the taco bar next to the truck or trailer, or as a separate station. If the truck can’t get to the spot, we park close by, unload and carry the bar in, as long as the venue agrees. For garden parties and marquee parties, we can serve fresh salsas, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and guacamole and more.
Near Silchester, 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. Guests are served from our food truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan the service around your numbers.

What’s on the menu
Salsas
A row of salsas, mild to hot.
Hot fillings
Fillings cooked ahead and kept hot, perhaps chicken tinga, birria or carnitas.
Can I do a taco night 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 be with your guests, we will do the serving.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
FAQs for Silchester
Is it possible to have you in Padworth Common Local Nature Reserve?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Do you cater in villages like Silchester?
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.
Is the food made fresh?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Can you keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Do you give allergen information?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
What about power on site?
That depends on the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Can you come to a private house?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a photo and we will talk it through.
What if a vehicle cannot reach the serving spot?
The bar can stand on its own, away from the truck or trailer. We still need to park our vehicle nearby to unload, and the venue’s agreement.
The process
Here’s how the day usually runs: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. A December taco bar in Silchester will be in the dark from about 4:00pm, so set the station up where the lighting is good. In late June, the light holds until around 9:25pm.

How it compares
A standard buffet often sits out cold. Our fillings stay hot and the bowls are topped up as guests come back. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
