Dietary needs and planning tips
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Ensure guests have somewhere to sit
- Include a vegan filling on the bar
- Let us know about anyone who is coeliac
- Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
A covered spot keeps the bar and guests dry if it rains.
Our drinks bar can sit alongside the taco bar for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you.

Common questions in Walton Manor
Could you serve our guests after a service at Oxford Centre for Mission Studies?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Could you serve 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 will send what they need from us.
How much does taco bar hire cost?
We do not publish set prices, as each booking is different. Send us your details and we’ll quote for your event. See what Mexican catering costs for background.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we’ll check the licensing with you and your venue.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Our truck and trailer service normally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
Is a taco bar suitable for a big group?
Our service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Share your headcount and we will size the bar to suit.
Do you take everything away?
Our area is packed away and left tidy. Let us know the venue’s rules on waste and we’ll talk it through.
Taco bar hire or something else?
Pizza is the usual crowd-pleaser, but a taco bar lets every guest design their own plate. Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Contact us for a quote.

You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.

- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
- Tacos and taco bars, burritos, bowls, nachos and quesadillas
