The process
When service finishes, we pack up and leave our area tidy. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. Around midsummer it stays light in Abbotswood until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is usually served in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan good lighting over the station.

About our taco bar hire in Abbotswood
Our taco bar travels to events across Abbotswood and the surrounding area: marquees, barns, gardens, halls and workplaces. It works well for family get-togethers and engagement parties, serving burrito bowls, a build-your-own taco bar and guacamole.
In a smaller place like Abbotswood, a taco bar in your garden or a local hall keeps things simple. We set up and run the station, and guests choose their own fillings and toppings. Let us know about the drive and parking. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.
How we price taco bar hire
We quote for your event, which reflects:
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- How many staff you need
- Parking and the route in
- The length of service
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
Getting an accurate quote
These details help us quote quickly:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, location, guest numbers and diets. Contact us for a quote: just tell us about it on our contact page.
Should I do it myself?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Planning for every diet
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask the venue where we can park to unload
- Flag any guest with coeliac disease
- Count children separately
- Agree the serving spot with your venue early
Indoors or under cover, the bar carries on whatever the weather, so plan somewhere sheltered if you can.
Burrito bowls sit well on the bar for anyone avoiding tortillas.
FAQs for Abbotswood
Can you cater a reception after a service at Christ Church?
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.
What’s the nearest station to Abbotswood for guests?
London Road (Guildford) station, in Abbotswood itself.
What about power on site?
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.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll suggest mild options.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
How much is a food truck for an event?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.
How is the food prepared?
We cook to order in our food truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Where do you cater?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire, including Abbotswood.
Planning the serving area
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- A clear route from the vehicle to the serving spot
- The venue’s agreement for the taco bar and our vehicle
- Details of power and water near the bar
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Popular choices
- Salsas and guacamole
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Two to four fillings
- Vegan fillings
- Tortilla chips
- Pickled onions and toppings
How it compares
Plated meals depend on a kitchen and a team of waiting staff. A taco bar needs a serving spot, somewhere close to unload and the venue’s agreement, with power and water confirmed when you book. Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
Why book with us
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- Every guest catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included
- Menus chosen with you
- Allergen information for every dish
