Taco bar hire in Upper Basildon, from our truck or trailer
A taco bar suits mixed diets well, because every filling and topping sits in its own dish. We plan vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. For working lunches and family celebrations, we can serve a build-your-own taco bar, fresh salsas and guacamole for your guests.
In a small place like Upper Basildon, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. 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. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.

What else we do in Upper Basildon
Can I do a taco night myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
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.

Upper Basildon questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Stephen's Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Do you cater in villages like Upper Basildon?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
What do you need at the venue?
Tell us about the venue and the spot you have in mind, and we will check it works. The venue’s agreement is needed too.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t typically stop service from the truck or trailer. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
What does taco bar hire cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.

Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.
Are plates and napkins included?
Ask us when you enquire. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
What do you need at the venue?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
How the day works
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can enjoy your event. A December taco bar in Upper Basildon will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:25pm.
- 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.
- Before the day, we confirm the serving spot, unloading, power and water with the venue.
- We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and guests help themselves.
- After the last tacos, we clear the station away.
