Taco bar hire for Stroud events
How our taco bar hire works in Stroud
Truck and trailer bookings normally 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. On the menu are warm corn and flour tortillas, burrito bowls and guacamole, which works well for birthday parties and office lunches.
Somewhere as small as Stroud, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. 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. You will know what’s included before booking: menu, timings and any add-ons.
Stroud questions
Could you serve our guests after a service at Stroud Mission Church?
Yes. The church itself is not 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 far is Stroud from London?
It’s about 51 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
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.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
How spicy is the food?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can explain how we prepare their food.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll talk it through.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will include them in the plan.

How it works
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. Winter evenings in Stroud close in by about 4:00pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Send us your date, where the taco bar will go, numbers and dietary needs.
- You get a suggested taco-bar spread and a quote.
- We agree where the table goes and where our vehicle can unload.
- On the day our staff lay out the bar and keep it stocked while guests build their tacos.
- Once guests have eaten, we take down the bar and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
Ask for a quote
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, tell us about it on our contact page.

Stroud: venues, access and set-up
Stroud is about 2 miles west of Petersfield, in Hampshire. Give us the address of your event in Stroud, and we will plan the journey and set-up before the day. Stroud is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire where we can bring taco bar hire. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Stroud to Chichester (about 14 miles away).
Guests arriving without a car will want to know that the nearest station is Petersfield station, about 1.3 miles east. Stroud is within about 2 miles of the South Downs National Park, with barns and country venues that could host a taco bar. Where vehicles can’t reach the room, the station can be set up there with the venue’s agreement, but we still need to unload close by.

Dietary needs and planning tips
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask guests with severe allergies to contact us before the day
- Include a vegan filling on the bar
- Put allergies in writing for us
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
Dishes are labelled, with allergen information available at the table.
Burrito bowls sit well on the bar for anyone avoiding tortillas.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
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.
Occasions we cater for in Stroud
The bar becomes a meeting point: people chat about salsas and fillings while they build.
Whatever you’re celebrating in Stroud, our truck or trailer can be the centre of it. We’re happy to cater:
- Working lunches
- Engagement parties
- Team socials
- Barn and marquee parties
When the service is at a church such as Stroud Mission Church, the taco bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church.
