Taco bar hire in Summertown, served fresh
A taco bar puts the whole spread on one table: warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Each guest takes a plate and fills it their way. We serve burrito bowls, fresh salsas and a build-your-own taco bar, and it suits birthday parties and working lunches.
Around Summertown, a taco bar can stand beside our truck on a drive or lawn. If the truck cannot reach the garden, we park as close as we can and set the station up where your guests are, as long as we can unload within a short walk. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Summertown: your questions answered
Is it possible to have you in Oxford University Parks?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we’ll send what they need from us.
Which station is closest to Summertown?
Guests can use Oxford station, about 1.7 miles south of Summertown.
What do you need at the venue?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent and Medway, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, including Summertown.
Do you cover Summertown?
We do. We serve at events in Summertown and across Oxfordshire. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
How long do you serve for?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.

What affects the price in Summertown
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Timings and hours
- How many guests we’re serving
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Your choice of food and drinks
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for taco bar hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
What we need to know
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The address or venue name
We quote for each event separately, based on what you need. For a quote, drop us a line using the enquiry form.

The process
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can enjoy your event. Winter evenings in Summertown close in by about 3:55pm, so set the station up where the lighting is good. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.
- The venue confirms where the bar goes and where we park.
- Our staff set out the bar and guests build their own tacos.
- When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Give us your final numbers and diets
