Taco bar hire for your event in Farleigh
We run the taco bar ourselves: keeping the fillings hot, warming tortillas and topping up the bowls. Your hosts can stay with their guests. At engagement parties and leaving and retirement parties, we can serve slow-cooked fillings kept hot, a build-your-own taco bar and guacamole for your guests.
In a small place like Farleigh, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. Timings are planned around your event, so service starts when you want it.
Comparing your options
Compared with a hog roast or carvery, a taco bar handles vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests without separate plates. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed in your quote.
Why us?
- Allergen-aware menus
- Access, space and power checked in advance
- Everything served fresh from the hatch
- Every guest catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included

About the menu
Salsas
Guests add as much heat as they like.
Warm tortillas
Corn and flour tortillas, warmed through in batches so there’s always one ready. The corn ones suit gluten-free guests.
How it works
The truck or trailer needs a level, firm spot with access to drive in, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A photo of the space helps. In Farleigh, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is generally served 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.
- Together we choose what goes on the bar.
- We confirm the table spot and where we’ll unload.
- Our staff set out the bar and guests build their own tacos.
- We clear the bar away after service.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches

Farleigh: venues, access and set-up
Farleigh is about 4 miles north-east of Caterham, in Surrey. Whether your event is in the middle of Farleigh or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. Farleigh is one of 395 places in Surrey we cover.
Around Farleigh, historic houses include Addington Palace (2.2 miles north) and Down House (3.7 miles east). Historic venues often limit where vehicles can go, so ask whether a taco bar station could be set up inside while our food truck or trailer parks further off. Before you plan a taco bar in Ledgers Wood, find out who manages it, as catering and unloading there both need their agreement.
Here we cover the CR6 postcode area, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. We can cater an event on streets such as Farleigh Court Road and Old Farleigh Road. If your venue is just outside Farleigh, we also cover Chelsham (1 mile south), Fickleshole (1 mile east), Forestdale (1 mile north), New Addington (1 mile north-east) and Hamsey Green (1 mile west). Further out, we also cater in Epsom (10 miles west), Horley (12 miles south-west), Redhill (9 miles south-west), Ewell (10 miles west), Reigate (10 miles south-west) and Caterham (4 miles south-west).
Well-known places in the area include Warlingham Park Hospital (0.6 miles south) and East Surrey Museum (3.7 miles south-west). The countryside around Farleigh includes Nore Hill and Hutchinson's Bank.
Diets, allergies and planning
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
- Choose at least one vegan filling
- Flag any guest with coeliac disease
- Include a dietary question on your invitations
Once guests have eaten, we clear the table and pack up and leave the spot tidy.
Add burrito bowls for guests who’d rather skip tortillas.
What we need at the venue
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- A clear area in front of the station
- Easy access from where we unload to the table
- A level area for the taco-bar table
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.
What we offer
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Tortilla chips
- Salsas and guacamole
- Two to four fillings
- Vegan fillings
Planners, venues and businesses
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
