Common questions in Upton
Do you come to events in the Chilterns National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Do you set up taco bars indoors in places like Upton?
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.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
How much is a food truck for an event?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will suggest mild options.
What does a taco bar cost?
We don’t publish set prices, as each booking is different. Share your plans and you will get a quote. Our guide to Mexican catering costs may help.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
That depends on your timings and the event. As a guide, our bookings normally fall around 50 to 400 guests.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Taco bar hire in Upton, from our truck or trailer
We can serve the taco bar next to the truck or trailer, or as a separate station. Where a vehicle cannot reach the serving spot, we unload nearby and set the table up there, with the venue’s agreement. It works well for anniversary parties and barn and marquee parties, serving a build-your-own taco bar, guacamole and warm corn and flour tortillas.
Near Upton, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we confirm power and water arrangements before the day. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

- A truck or trailer that comes to you

Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Count children separately
- Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
- Agree the serving spot with your venue early
Fillings are kept hot and tortillas warmed in batches, so the bar stays fresh from the first plate to the last.
A wider range of salsas suits guests who like it mild and those who like it hot.
Where the truck can go in Upton
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- Shelter from rain and sun for an outdoor bar
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- The venue’s or landowner’s agreement
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
What we offer
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Tortilla chips
- Two to four fillings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Vegan fillings
The menu, item by item
Vegan fillings
Black bean and sweet potato, or spiced mushrooms, cooked separately.
Warm tortillas
Every taco starts with a warm tortilla. We warm them as the bar needs them through service.
The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. Winter evenings in Upton close in by about 3:55pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. In late June, the light holds until around 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.
- We agree where the table goes and where our vehicle can unload.
- Our staff set up the station, keep the fillings hot and top up the bar through service.
- When service finishes, we clear the table and pack the vehicle.
Before we arrive
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
How to get a price

DIY taco night versus a caterer
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. Read our guide to taco bars.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
