About our taco bar hire in Ashford Common
Our staff set up the taco bar and look after it through service: warming tortillas, keeping fillings hot and refilling the salsas as they go. Your hosts can stay with their guests. Popular choices include slow-cooked fillings kept hot, burrito bowls and a build-your-own taco bar, which works well for wedding breakfasts and family celebrations.
In and around Ashford Common, a taco bar works beside the truck or in a hall nearby. Where access is tight, the truck stays nearby and the station goes where your guests are, as long as we can unload within a short walk. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
Occasions we cater for in Ashford Common
Building your own is quick, so a crowd is fed at a steady pace.

You might choose two or three fillings, with at least one vegan. You choose them with us.

Catering for every guest
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Set out seating near the bar
- Include a dietary question on your invitations
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first
We warm tortillas in batches and keep the fillings hot, so the bar stays fresh from the first plate to the last.

FAQs for Ashford Common
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Sunbury Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
What’s the nearest station to Ashford Common for guests?
Upper Halliford station, about 0.9 miles south-east of the centre.
What if a vehicle cannot reach the serving spot?
The taco bar can be served from a table or station away from the truck. We still need somewhere close to unload our vehicle, and the venue has to agree.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
How long are you on site?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book.
Who clears up?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Do you have dairy-free options?
We can. We offer dairy-free options.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. For alcohol, we will talk licensing through with you and your venue.
