Taco bar hire for West Ilsley events
The process
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, service opens at the agreed time, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. Around midsummer it stays light in West Ilsley 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 4:00pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Tell us the date, the venue, how many guests and any diets.
- We suggest fillings, salsas and toppings for the bar and send a quote.
- Together we fix the spot for the taco bar and a nearby place for our vehicle.
- 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.

We can serve the taco bar next to the truck or trailer, or as a separate station. If the truck cannot get to the spot, we park close by, unload and carry the bar in, with the venue’s agreement. It works well for anniversary parties and wedding evening food, with slow-cooked fillings kept hot, warm corn and flour tortillas and pickled onions and toppings.
Near West Ilsley, a marquee or barn makes a good home for a taco bar. Our staff set up the station and run it through service. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

Planning for every diet
We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Set out seating near the bar
- Ask the venue where we can park to unload
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Pick the spot for the taco bar in advance
A covered spot keeps the bar and guests dry if it rains, so plan somewhere sheltered if you can.
Extra salsas, from mild to hot, let guests choose their own heat.
Your questions about taco bar hire in West Ilsley
Could you set up a taco bar in a hall near West Ilsley?
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.
Do you come out to small places like West Ilsley?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Do you need electricity?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we’ll park.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, as long as there is access and a level, firm spot. Send us a picture of the access and the space, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we run 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.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
That’s confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we will talk it through.
Do you give allergen information?
We plan allergen-aware menus, including for nut allergies, with allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we can’t promise anything is completely allergen-free. If a guest has a severe allergy, please talk to us before the event.
How much does taco bar hire cost in West Ilsley?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Tell us your date and numbers and we’ll reply with a quote.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
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.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
