How our taco bar hire works in Durrant Green
We run the taco bar ourselves: warming tortillas, keeping fillings hot and refilling the salsas as they go. Your hosts can stay with their guests. It works well for wedding day food and family celebrations, with guacamole, warm corn and flour tortillas and slow-cooked fillings kept hot.
Near Durrant Green, a marquee or barn makes a good home for a taco bar. Our staff set up the station and run it through service. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
Questions from Durrant Green
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Michael: 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 will check the access.
How far is Durrant Green from London?
It is about 44 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire.
How is the food prepared?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. The tortillas are warmed on site, and the salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
What space does a taco bar need?
Tell us about the venue and the spot you have in mind, and we’ll check it works. We also need the venue’s permission.
What we need at the venue
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Space for a line of guests at the bar
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
- Space beside the truck or trailer if you are booking both
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Working with your venue
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
How the day works
When service finishes, we pack up and leave our area tidy. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. In Durrant Green, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Contact us with your date and headcount.
- We plan fillings and toppings around your guests’ diets.
- Nearer the date, we confirm timings and the serving spot.
- The bar opens at the agreed time.
- We clear our station when service ends.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
