Taco bar hire in Watlington
About our taco bar hire in Watlington
Our taco bar travels to events across Watlington and the surrounding area: from barns and marquees to gardens, halls and offices. For birthday celebrations and barn and marquee parties, we will put together a menu of guacamole, fresh salsas and burrito bowls.
Near Watlington, a hall or club may suit a taco bar if your own space is tight; the station needs a level surface, the venue’s permission and somewhere to unload. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

How it works
We get there well before you want to serve, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. Guests come up to order when service opens. Around midsummer it stays light in Watlington until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is typically served in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Start with the essentials: the date, venue, headcount and diets.
- 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.
- Our staff set up the station, keep the fillings hot and top up the bar through service.
- Once guests have eaten, we take down the bar and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Tell us when you want service to start

Watlington: venues, access and set-up
Watlington is about 7 miles south of Thame, in Oxfordshire. From the centre of Watlington to the outskirts, taco bar hire works the same way: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. We cater in 443 places across Oxfordshire. We cater right across the region, from Watlington to High Wycombe (11 miles away).
With the B480 and B4009 nearby, getting the taco bar to Watlington is simple for us. Around Watlington, historic houses include Adwell House (3.2 miles north) and Stonor Park (4.8 miles south-east). Historic venues often limit where vehicles can go, so ask whether a taco bar station could be set up inside while our truck or trailer parks further off. Venues in and around the Chilterns National Landscape, within about 3 miles of Watlington, sometimes have strict rules about catering and vehicles. Check with yours where a taco bar station and our truck or trailer could go.
Wherever your event is in OX49, we can bring taco bar hire to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Whether your event is on High Street, Brookside and Quarrington Place or anywhere nearby, we’ll plan where to park and serve. With the B480 and B4009 close by, Watlington is simple for us to get to.

FAQs for Watlington
Do you come to events in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
How far is Watlington from central London?
It is about 41 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you stay to run the taco bar?
We run the station ourselves, so you don’t need helpers. We pack it away afterwards.
Do you come to Watlington?
Yes, we do. Watlington is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Can we have a taco bar at our wedding?
It can serve the wedding meal, the evening or both. Timings are agreed with you and your venue.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Do you cook on site?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Should I do it myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.

Why choose taco bar hire in Watlington?
The difference between a taco bar and truck service is who builds the taco. At the hatch, we make each order; at the taco bar, guests do the building. The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.
