Guests arriving without a car will want to know that the nearest station is Shalford station, about 0.7 miles south-east.

Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Count children separately
- Put allergies in writing for us
- Include a dietary question on your invitations
- Decide where the table goes before the day
A covered spot keeps the bar and guests dry if it rains.
Nachos to share can keep guests going before the bar opens.
Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send what the landowner or council needs from us.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.

Why choose taco bar hire in Artington?
Plated meals depend on a kitchen and a team of waiting staff. For a taco bar, we need a serving spot, a nearby place to unload and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Artington: your questions answered
Do you cater in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
We can, as long as the venue agrees. The station needs room for a queue, and we need to park and unload close to the door.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we will check the licensing with you and your venue.
Is the food very hot?
It is up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
When do you arrive?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Surrey. Find your area.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
What does a taco bar cost?
Every taco bar is quoted for individually, depending on guests, menu, venue and timings. Contact us for a quote.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
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.
