Taco bar hire for Chessington events
Taco bar hire in Chessington, served fresh
We can serve the taco bar next to the truck or trailer, or as a separate station. Where a vehicle cannot reach the serving spot, we unload nearby and set the table up there, as long as the venue agrees. It suits wedding day food and engagement and anniversary parties, with warm corn and flour tortillas, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and fresh salsas.
London gardens are often reached only through the house, and many venues in Chessington have no vehicle access to the room. The station can go where the truck can’t, as long as the venue agrees, and we need a short, clear route from where we unload. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

Your questions about taco bar hire in Chessington
Do you come to events in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Mary the Virgin: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself is not 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.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
How much space do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
Can you set up where a truck can’t get in?
It can go beside the truck or trailer, or somewhere a vehicle cannot reach. We need a nearby place to unload, plus the venue’s agreement.
Do you stay to run the taco bar?
We set up and stay to keep the bar hot and stocked through service.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Should I do it myself?
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.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
Step by step
When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. Daylight in Chessington runs to about 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. Let us know if an outdoor station will run after dark, and we will talk about lighting.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.
- We confirm the table spot and where we will unload.
- Our staff set out the bar and guests build their own tacos.
- We clear the bar away after service.
How to prepare
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
