How our taco bar hire works in Elstead
The taco bar works for a wedding breakfast, a party or a working lunch. Guests build their plates quickly, so a crowd moves through steadily, and nobody waits long. It suits family celebrations and milestone birthdays, serving fresh salsas, burrito bowls and a build-your-own taco bar.
For a place the size of Elstead, a garden or a hall nearby can suit a taco bar. Our staff set up the station and guests build their own tacos. Let us know about the drive and parking. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so set-up goes smoothly.
Planning the serving area
If a space isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another spot. What matters most:
- A level area for the taco-bar table
- Room for guests to queue along the table
- A short, clear path for carrying the bar in
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we offer
- Vegan fillings
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Tortilla chips
- Salsas and guacamole
- Two to four fillings
How the day works
The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain does not typically stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. From late May to late September, sunset in Elstead moves from about 8:55pm to 7:05pm. If the taco bar is outdoors and runs later, tell us what lighting the venue has.

Elstead: venues, access and set-up
Elstead is about 4 miles south-east of Farnham, in Surrey. Whether your event is in the middle of Elstead or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price.

For guests coming by train, the nearest station is Milford (Surrey) station, about 3.1 miles south-east. No room for the truck at home? A hall or club near Elstead with parking close by could host the taco bar. Elstead is within about 5 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, with barns and country venues that could host a taco bar. Where vehicles cannot reach the room, the station can be set up there with the venue’s agreement, but we still need to unload close by.

Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:

If speeches or timings run over, we keep the fillings hot and start when you’re ready.
Burrito bowls sit well on the bar for anyone avoiding tortillas.
Common questions in Elstead
How far is Elstead from central London?
About 34 miles from central London, and we cover it.
Could you serve in Thundry Meadows?
Only if the landowner, often the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
How much does taco bar hire cost in Elstead?
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Can you keep it mild?
That is your choice: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are looked at case by case. Tell us your numbers and we will plan the bar around them.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give 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.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire, including Elstead.
Is the food suitable for children?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
