How our taco bar hire works in Cranleigh
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. At wedding evening food and office lunches, we can serve a build-your-own taco bar, guacamole and fresh salsas.
For a place the size of Cranleigh, a garden or a hall nearby can suit a taco bar. We set up and run the station, and guests choose their own fillings and toppings. Let us know about the drive and parking. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

- A spot next to the truck or trailer when both are booked

How it compares
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen, waiting staff and fixed courses. For a taco bar, we need a serving spot, a nearby place to unload and the venue’s permission, with power and water confirmed when you book. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
What you get with us
- Allergen-aware menus
- Tacos, burritos and a drinks bar
- Fast service, even with a queue
- A plan agreed before the day

Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Check where our vehicle can unload
- Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
- Let us know about anyone who is coeliac
- Tell us when guests should eat
If the schedule slips, tell us and we’ll hold everything hot until you are ready.
Nachos to share can keep guests going before the bar opens.
