Taco bar hire for Chaldon events
About our taco bar hire in Chaldon
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, warm corn and flour tortillas and a build-your-own taco bar, and it is a good fit for christenings and family parties and office lunches.
In a small place like Chaldon, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If the truck cannot get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Include a dietary question on your invitations
- Ensure one filling is vegan
- Count children separately
- Confirm any allergies to us by email
Indoors or under cover, the bar carries on whatever the weather, so plan somewhere sheltered if you can.
Ask us whether a second station would help with big numbers, quoted for your event.
The process
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, tell us and we will adjust the start of service where we can. Winter evenings in Chaldon close in by about 3:55pm, so set the station up where the lighting is good. In late June, the light holds until around 9:20pm.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough

FAQs for Chaldon
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Peter and St Paul: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Could you serve in Kitchen Copse?
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’ll send what they need from us.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect.
Can we have a taco bar at our wedding?
A taco bar makes a relaxed, sociable wedding meal. We fit it around your speeches and photos. Read our taco bar guide for ideas.
What does a taco bar cost?
We quote for each taco bar, depending on guests, menu, venue and timings. For a price, tell us about it on our contact page.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
What do you need at the venue?
A level spot for the serving table, room to queue and somewhere close to unload our vehicle. We confirm power and water when you book.
Can you come to a private house?
It depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
