Taco bar hire near Godalming
Working with your venue
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re 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.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Taco bar hire in Godalming, served fresh
A taco bar puts the whole spread on one table: tortillas kept warm, fillings kept hot, and bowls of salsa, guacamole and toppings. Each guest takes a plate and fills it their way. On the menu are guacamole, burrito bowls and warm corn and flour tortillas, which works well for staff parties and leaving and retirement parties.
Near Godalming, a hall or club may suit a taco bar if your own space is tight; the station needs a level surface, the venue’s permission and somewhere to unload. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Your questions about taco bar hire in Godalming
Do you cater in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
We are having a ceremony at St Edmund Church: 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.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
We confirm that with your quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we will talk it through.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
How does a taco bar work?
Each guest builds tacos from the fillings, salsas and toppings laid out. We run the bar from set-up to pack-down.
Can the taco bar cater for special diets?
We plan vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.

Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Godalming is within our area and the rest of Surrey. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
Catering for every guest
We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Include a dietary question on your invitations
- Agree the serving spot with your venue early
- Tell us when guests should eat
If the schedule slips, tell us and we will hold everything hot until you’re ready.
Our food truck or trailer can serve later in the day, after the taco bar.
Planning the serving area
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We look for:
- A flat spot for the taco-bar station
- A sheltered spot if we are serving outside
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
Step by step
We work to your timings. If things run behind, let us know and we will adjust where we can. Winter evenings in Godalming close in by about 3:55pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Begin with the date and headcount.
- We agree a menu that covers every diet.
- Nearer the date, we confirm timings and the serving spot.
- Service starts when your running order says.
- Once service is over, we pack away.
Getting ready for the day
