Arford: your questions answered
How far is Arford from London?
It’s about 41 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Which station is closest to Arford?
The closest is Liphook station, roughly 3.6 miles away.
Is a taco bar suitable for a big group?
It depends on the event and the timings. As a guide, our bookings normally fall around 50 to 400 guests.
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’s a supply near where we’ll park.
Can guests build their own tacos?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we will talk licensing through with you.
How does a taco bar work?
Guests take a plate and fill their tortillas from the dishes on the bar. Our staff look after the bar throughout.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so get in touch early.
Taco bar hire in Arford, served fresh
Mixed diets are simple at a taco bar, because every filling and topping sits in its own dish. There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, plus allergen information for every dish. For barn parties and anniversary parties, we can serve fresh salsas, a build-your-own taco bar and burrito bowls for your guests.
In a hamlet or village like Arford, 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. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:

Our staff stand behind the bar to top up dishes and help guests.

How it compares
Pizza is the usual crowd-pleaser, but a taco bar gives guests more say over what they eat. Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.

- Everything served fresh from the hatch

Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- How many guests we’re serving
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Travel, parking and access
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can feel generous.
