Taco bar hire in Claygate
DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is 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.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. 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.
About our taco bar hire in Claygate
Taco bars suit wedding breakfasts, parties and office lunches alike. Guests build their plates quickly, so a crowd moves through steadily, and nobody waits long. It works well for evening receptions and leaving dos, with warm corn and flour tortillas, a build-your-own taco bar and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
In and around Claygate, a taco bar works beside the truck or in a hall nearby. If the truck can’t reach the garden, we park as close as we can and set the station up where your guests are, as long as we can unload within a short walk. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.

Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Parking and the route in
- What the venue already provides
- How many staff you need
- What’s on the menu
Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so share your ideas with us. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- The address or venue name
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- The date and rough timings
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can. Winter evenings in Claygate close in by about 3:55pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
