Taco bar hire in Thame

Perfect for your event in Thame

The bar can go where a vehicle can’t, such as a courtyard, a barn or a hall, with the venue’s agreement.

Here are some of the events we cater:

  • Anniversary parties
  • Team socials
  • Working lunches
  • Birthday parties

Nearby historic houses include Adwell House (3.9 miles south). Estates and listed houses set their own rules for caterers, so check where a taco bar station and our vehicle would be permitted before you book.

How our taco bar hire works in Thame

The bar can stand beside our food truck or trailer, or on its own. 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. On the menu are slow-cooked fillings kept hot, warm corn and flour tortillas and pickled onions and toppings, and it is a good fit for leaving dos and evening receptions.

Halls, marquees and gardens in Thame can all suit a taco bar. It can stand next to the truck, or on its own where the truck can’t reach. We still need to park and unload nearby. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

FAQs for Thame

Which station should guests use for Thame?

Guests can use Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, about 2.1 miles north-east of Thame.

Do you come to events in the Chilterns National Landscape?

Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.

How much space do you need?

A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.

When should we book?

As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so get in touch early.

Who clears up?

We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.

Do you do margaritas?

Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will check the licensing with you.

Can you plan for allergies?

We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.

How long do you serve for?

We arrive in good time to set up before service. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.

Planning the serving area

Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:

  • Permission from the venue for us to set up
  • Room for the bar alongside the vehicle, if booked together
  • A sheltered spot if we are serving outside

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

Menu ideas

  • Corn and flour tortillas
  • Two to four fillings
  • Vegan fillings
  • Salsas and guacamole
  • Tortilla chips
  • Pickled onions and toppings

For planners, venues and organisers

If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.

Catering for every guest

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:

  • Check where our vehicle can unload
  • Give us separate numbers for children
  • Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
  • Ensure one filling is vegan

Dishes are labelled, with allergen information available at the table.

Ask us whether a second station would help with big numbers.

DIY taco night or a caterer?

If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.

Prices and what affects them

We quote for your event, and the price is based on:

  • What the venue already provides
  • The number of people
  • What’s on the menu
  • Travel, parking and access

Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed in your quote.

Details that help

To check availability and price, we need:

  • How we drive in and where we can park
  • A picture of where we’d park
  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • The date and time of the event

Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.

Taco bar hire or something else?

Pizza is the usual crowd-pleaser, but a taco bar lets every guest design their own plate. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.

How it works

Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we plan a spot with space for people to queue. Rain does not typically stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Evenings in Thame stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm. Once it gets dark, guests need to see what they’re adding to their tacos.

  1. Tell us the date, the venue, how many guests and any diets.
  2. You get a suggested taco-bar spread and a quote.
  3. Before the day, we confirm the serving spot, unloading, power and water with the venue.
  4. Our staff set up the station, keep the fillings hot and top up the bar through service.
  5. Once guests have eaten, we take down the bar and leave the spot tidy.

Before we arrive

  • Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
  • Ask the venue about power and water
  • Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
