Taco bar hire in Ashford, from our truck or trailer
A taco bar suits mixed diets well, as fillings and toppings are kept in separate dishes. We plan vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. At barn parties and garden parties, we’ll put together a menu of pickled onions and toppings, burrito bowls and guacamole.
In Ashford, a taco bar can be set up inside a hall or club, with the venue’s agreement. The station needs space, a route in from the parking area and room to queue. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Why choose taco bar hire in Ashford?
A taco bar and a truck serve the same food in different ways. From the truck, we put each order together; at the taco bar, guests do the building. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Your quote confirms the full price.

What taco bar hire costs
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Serving staff
- Parking and the route in
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- The menu you choose
Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you can choose what you need.
What to tell us
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Expected numbers
- Where the event is
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Your date and when you want service to start
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you need. To ask for one, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
How the day works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. A picture of the space helps. From late May to late September, sunset in Ashford moves from about 8:55pm to 7:05pm. Let us know if an outdoor station will run after dark, and we will talk about lighting.
- 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.
- On the day, guests help themselves while we keep the bar stocked.
- When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely

A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:

Staff stay at the taco bar to refill bowls and answer questions.
Our drinks bar can sit alongside the taco bar for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you.
A build-your-own taco bar in Ashford
Ashford is about 6 miles south of Hayes, in Surrey. We serve at events in homes, gardens and venues in Ashford and the surrounding area. We serve in 395 places across Surrey, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. We cater right across the region, from Ashford to Woking (about 9 miles away).
When the service is at a church such as Parish Church of St Matthew, the taco bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. If people are travelling in by rail, Ashford has its own station, Ashford Surrey station.
Wherever your event is in TW15, TW19 and TW13, we can bring taco bar hire to you. From Church Road, Station Road and London Road or anywhere nearby, we can bring taco bar hire there, given access. Ashford sits on or near the A30 and A308, so getting the truck or trailer to your event is simple. Nearby, we also cater events in Littleton Common (1 mile south-east), Ashford Common (1 mile south-east), West Bedfont (1 mile north), Stanwell (2 miles north) and Hounslow (2 miles east). We also cater in nearby towns such as Guildford (14 miles south), Woking (9 miles south-west), Camberley (13 miles south-west), Epsom (11 miles south-east), Ewell (11 miles south-east) and Egham (4 miles west).
Nearby you will also find Ashford Hospital (0.7 miles north) and Spelthorne Museum (2.2 miles west). The countryside around Ashford includes Staines Reservoirs and Kempton Park Reservoirs.
- Nearby schools include Clarendon Primary School (within half a mile north) and Thomas Knyvett College (0.6 miles north-west)
DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Questions from Ashford
What’s the nearest station to Ashford for guests?
Guests can use Ashford Surrey station, which is right in Ashford.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Parish Church of St Matthew?
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’ll check the access.
How many guests can a taco bar serve?
Our service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers and we will plan the bar around them.
Do you give allergen information?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We keep options separate, but we cannot promise anything is completely allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Do you do parties at home?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a photo and we will talk it through.
Do you have options for kids?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
How big an event can you cater?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we will advise.
