Taco bar hire in South Hinksey, from our truck or trailer
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. On the menu are warm corn and flour tortillas, burrito bowls and fresh salsas, and it is a good fit for wedding day food and company parties.
Near South Hinksey, a marquee or barn makes a good home for a taco bar. We set up the station and our team runs it; tell us about access and parking. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Planning for every diet
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Count children separately
- Make sure guests have somewhere to sit
- Pick the spot for the taco bar in advance
- Include a dietary question on your invitations
We get there early enough to unload, lay out the table and heat everything through.
Add burrito bowls for guests who’d rather skip tortillas.
Popular choices
Warm tortillas
Corn and flour tortillas, warmed through in batches so there’s always one ready. The corn ones suit gluten-free guests.
Vegan fillings
Spiced mushroom, or black bean and sweet potato.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
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. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
Is taco bar hire right for your event?
Sandwich platters are convenient but forgettable. A hot taco bar gives guests something to gather round. Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you choose what goes in.

South Hinksey questions
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.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Raleigh Park?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Does the taco bar need the truck on site?
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.
How much does taco bar hire cost?
Every taco bar is quoted for individually, based on numbers, fillings, the venue and timings. Contact us for a quote.
When do you arrive?
We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. Find your area.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
