Common questions in Blackheath
Which station should guests use for Blackheath?
The closest is Chilworth station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Do you come to events in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Can you run a bar?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll go through the licensing with you.
Can you keep it mild?
It is up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
What do you serve?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Can we have a taco bar at our wedding?
It can serve the wedding meal, the evening or both. Timings are agreed with you and your venue, and guests build their own plates.
Do you need electricity?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Taco bar hire for your event in Blackheath
For a bigger spread, burrito bowls, nachos or quesadillas can sit alongside the tacos. Our drinks bar can be booked with it too, with licensing checked with you. For team lunches and staff parties, we’ll put together a menu of warm corn and flour tortillas, a build-your-own taco bar and pickled onions and toppings and more.
In a small place like Blackheath, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If the truck can’t get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, though we still need to unload within a short walk. We plan the timings around your day, so service starts when you want it.

Comparing your options
The difference between a taco bar and truck service is who builds the taco. At the hatch, we make each order; at the taco bar, guests do the building. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for taco bar hire. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
Why book with us
- Quick, friendly service from the hatch
- Menus for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests
- A truck or trailer that comes to you

Working with your venue
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
