Taco bar hire in Appleshaw
Appleshaw: your questions answered
Could you serve our guests after a service at Church of St Peter in the Wood?
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.
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
Yes, if the venue allows outside caterers. We need a short route from where we park to the room, and space for the station and a queue.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
Is the food made fresh?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options, and we will tell you which dishes contain milk.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, Hampshire included. See all areas.
What does a taco bar cost?
There is no price list, because no two events are the same. Share your plans and you will get a quote. See what Mexican catering costs for background.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
About our taco bar hire in Appleshaw
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 works well for family get-togethers and leaving dos, with fresh salsas, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and warm corn and flour tortillas.
In a hamlet or village like Appleshaw, 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. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
Should I do it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
What affects the price in Appleshaw
We’ll give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Food, drinks or both
- Travel, parking and access
- What’s on the menu
- How many guests we’re serving
Larger events can cost less per head, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- The date and rough timings
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- A photo of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- The address or venue name
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can. A December taco bar in Appleshaw will be in the dark from about 4:00pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. In late June, the light holds until around 9:25pm.
- Start with your date, venue and guest numbers.
- We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.
- The venue confirms where the bar goes and where we park.
- Our staff set out the bar and guests build their own tacos.
- When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

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. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. We quote for each event individually.
What you get with us
- Served fresh from our truck or trailer
- A quote that sets out what’s included
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests
- A plan agreed before the day
