Taco bar hire for your event in Anthill Common
A taco bar puts the whole spread on one table: warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Each guest takes a plate and fills it their way. It suits back-garden gatherings and family celebrations, serving pickled onions and toppings, warm corn and flour tortillas and guacamole.
In a hamlet or village like Anthill Common, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. Our staff set up the station and run it through service; tell us about access and parking. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.
Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Have tables and seats ready for guests to eat at
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Confirm any allergies to us by email
- Choose at least one vegan filling
After the last plate, we take the bar down.
Loaded nachos make a good starter while the bar is set up.
What’s on the menu
Guacamole
Guacamole made fresh, with lime and coriander.
Warm tortillas
Every taco starts with a warm tortilla. We warm them as the bar needs them.
How it works
Your timings come first. If things run behind, tell us and we’ll adjust the start of service where we can. A December taco bar in Anthill Common will be in the dark from about 4:00pm, so set the station up where the lighting is good. In late June, the light holds until around 9:20pm.
- Begin with the date and headcount.
- We agree a menu that covers every diet.
- Nearer the date, we confirm timings and the serving spot.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- We clear our station when service ends.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely

Your questions about taco bar hire in Anthill Common
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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 will check the access.
How far is Anthill Common from central London?
About 59 miles from central London, and we cover it.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
How does a taco bar work?
A serving table is laid with warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and each guest builds their own. Our staff keep it hot and topped up.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, Hampshire included. Find your area.
Do you cater in Anthill Common?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Anthill Common and the rest of Hampshire. For a quote, tell us about it on our contact page.
Can you cater in a back garden?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a picture and we will talk it through.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
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’ll do the serving.
What we need at the venue
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We look for:
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- A clear area in front of the station
- Easy access from where we unload to the table
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Menu ideas
- Two to four fillings
- Tortilla chips
- Salsas and guacamole
