Taco bar hire in Broadford
Broadford questions
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.
Which station should guests use for Broadford?
Shalford station, in Broadford itself.
What should the venue provide?
Send us details of the venue and where you’d like the bar, and we’ll check it works. The venue’s agreement is needed too.
How much does taco bar hire cost?
There’s no price list, because no two events are the same. Send us your details and we will quote for your event. Our guide to Mexican catering costs may help.
What about power on site?
It depends on the event and the set-up, so we confirm power and water arrangements with each booking. Tell us what’s available at your venue.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will plan the menu around them.
How big an event can you cater?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
What does taco bar hire cost?

Taco bar hire for your event in Broadford
With a taco bar, everything is laid out in one place: warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings. Each guest takes a plate and fills it their way. It works well for retirement parties and wedding day food, serving burrito bowls, pickled onions and toppings and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
In a hamlet or village like Broadford, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. We set up the station and our team runs it; tell us about access and parking. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
How we price taco bar hire
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- What’s on the menu
- Whether you need disposables
- Parking and the route in
- How many staff you need
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there is no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Your date and when you want service to start
- Where the event is
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.

What else we do in Broadford
Broadford: venues, access and set-up
Broadford is about 2 miles south of Guildford, in Surrey. Whether your event is in the middle of Broadford or on the outskirts, taco bar hire works the same way: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. We cover all 395 towns and villages across Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages.
By rail: Shalford station is in Broadford itself. Thinking of a taco bar in Shalford Mill? Catering in a public park usually needs the landowner’s permission, so check first. Venues in and around the Surrey Hills National Landscape, within about 5 miles of Broadford, sometimes have strict rules about catering and vehicles. Check with yours where a taco bar station and our truck or trailer could go.
This part of Surrey takes in GU4, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. For events just outside Broadford, we cover Shalford (1 mile east), Peasmarsh (1 mile south-west), Artington (1 mile north-west), East Shalford (1 mile north-east) and Chilworth (2 miles east). Larger places within reach include Woking (7 miles north), Camberley (11 miles north-west), Farnham (10 miles west), Egham (15 miles north), Walton-on-Thames (14 miles north-east) and Dorking (11 miles east).

Catering for every guest
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Include a dietary question on your invitations
- Send us allergy details in writing
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
After the last plate, we take the bar down.
Our drinks bar can sit alongside the taco bar with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you.
Should I do it myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
How the day works
When we arrive, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we’ve agreed, planned around your event. In Broadford, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is typically served in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Begin with the date and headcount.
- We agree a menu that covers every diet.
- We fix timings with you and the venue.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- Once service is over, we pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Ask the venue about power and water
