How our taco bar hire works in Fairlands
We bring taco bars to events in and around Fairlands: marquees, barns, gardens, halls and workplaces, wherever there is room for the table. It suits barn parties and family get-togethers, with a build-your-own taco bar, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and fresh salsas.
Somewhere as small as Fairlands, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If the truck can’t get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

Where the truck can go in Fairlands
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- A short, clear path for carrying the bar in
- The venue’s or landowner’s agreement
- A spot next to the truck or trailer when both are booked
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.
What we offer
- Salsas and guacamole
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Vegan fillings
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Tortilla chips
- Two to four fillings
Step by step
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can enjoy your event. In Fairlands, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Start with your date, venue and guest numbers.
- We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.
- We confirm the table spot and where we’ll unload.
- Our staff set out the bar and guests build their own tacos.
- When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Give us a contact for the day
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site

Common questions in Fairlands
Could you serve in Chitty's Common?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide what they ask for from us.
Which station is closest to Fairlands?
The closest is Guildford station, roughly 2.4 miles away.
Can the taco bar cater for special diets?
Fillings and toppings sit in separate dishes, which helps with mixed diets, though we can’t guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own, with alcohol-free options such as aguas frescas. For alcohol, we’ll go through the licensing with you and your venue.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we’ll keep their options separate.
Do you need power and water?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we’ll park.
Is a taco bar suitable for a big group?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers and we will plan the bar around them.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Why choose taco bar hire in Fairlands?
Guests on special diets do not need a separate meal, since corn tortillas and vegan fillings sit with everything else.
A truck or trailer suits almost any gathering. People in Fairlands can book us for events such as:
- Leaving dos
- Family celebrations
- Back-garden gatherings
- Evening receptions
Parks such as Chitty's Common normally need the owner’s agreement for catering, even without a truck on the grass, so ask before you plan.
Questions to ask before you book
- The deadline for final numbers
- How long the service runs
- If the price includes VAT
- The caterer’s food hygiene rating
