Taco bar hire in Tongwell, from our truck or trailer
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, with the venue’s agreement. For milestone birthdays and team lunches, we will put together a menu of a build-your-own taco bar, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and fresh salsas and more.
For a rural spot like Tongwell, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we will confirm power and water with you. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

Tongwell is about 1 mile south of Newport Pagnell, in Milton Keynes. For an event in Tongwell, we can park up at venues, fields, drives and courtyards in and around Tongwell. Tongwell is one of 73 towns and villages in Milton Keynes where we can bring taco bar hire.
Before you plan a taco bar in Campbell Park, find out who manages it, as catering and unloading there both need their agreement.

Local streets include Maryland Road, Hooper Gate and Redvers Gate; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park.

Planning for every diet
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included. To get it right:
- Let us know about anyone who is coeliac
- Decide where the table goes before the day
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Count children separately
A covered spot keeps the bar and guests dry if it rains, so plan somewhere sheltered if you can.
Nachos to share can keep guests going before the bar opens.
Comparing your options
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen, waiting staff and fixed courses. A taco bar needs a serving spot, somewhere close to unload and the venue’s agreement, with power and water confirmed when you book. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.

Do you set up taco bars indoors in places like Tongwell?
We can, as long as the venue agrees. The station needs room for a queue, and we need to park and unload close to the door.

It is about 48 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.
How long do you serve for?
That depends on your event and menu. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you so everything fits your schedule.
Do you need power and water?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.

Are plates and napkins included?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we’ll talk it through.

What happens on the day
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. Around midsummer it stays light in Tongwell until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is typically served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Send us your date, where the taco bar will go, numbers and dietary needs.
- We plan the fillings and toppings with you and quote for them.
- We agree where the table goes and where our vehicle can unload.
- We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and guests help themselves.
- Once guests have eaten, we take down the bar and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Share the running order, including any speeches
