Taco bar hire in Five Ashes, from our truck or trailer

Guacamole
No taco bar is complete without guacamole, so we keep it topped up.
Your questions about taco bar hire in Five Ashes
We are having a ceremony at Church of the Good Shepherd: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t 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.
Do you cater in villages like Five Ashes?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
What do you need at the venue?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a photo of the space and the way in.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Do you cater in Five Ashes?
Yes, we do. Five Ashes is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
Can you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Can I do a taco night myself?
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.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
What happens on the day
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can spend time with your guests. Winter evenings in Five Ashes close in by about 3:55pm, so set the station up where the lighting is good. In late June, the light holds until around 9:15pm.
- Start with the essentials: the date, venue, headcount and diets.
- We suggest fillings, salsas and toppings for the bar and send a quote.
- Before the day, we confirm the serving spot, unloading, power and water with the venue.
- On the day our staff lay out the bar and keep it stocked while guests build their tacos.
- After the last tacos, we clear the station away.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
