The process
We get there well before you want to serve, then set up and prepare everything. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. By late September, sunset in Buckland comes at roughly 7:05pm, so margaritas after that will be served under lights. In late May, it stays light until about 8:50pm.
- We check availability.
- You get a suggested drinks list.
- We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- When the bar shuts, we clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers

Which station is closest to Buckland?
Betchworth station, about 0.6 miles north-west of the centre.

Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, Surrey included. See all areas.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to plan for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan the menu with them in mind.

Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Let us know your numbers and space and we will recommend how to serve.
Do you need power and water?
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 will park.

Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
