Taco bar hire in Grafham, from our food truck or trailer
For a bigger spread, burrito bowls, nachos or quesadillas can sit alongside the tacos. Our drinks bar can be booked with it too. We serve fresh salsas, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and a build-your-own taco bar, and it suits wedding evening food and office lunches.
In a hamlet or village like Grafham, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. Our staff set up the station and run it through service; tell us about access and parking. We serve from the hatch of our truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan the service around your numbers.
What taco bar hire costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
- What’s on the menu
- Guest numbers
- The length of service
Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Taco bar hire or something else?
The difference between a taco bar and truck service is who builds the taco. From the truck, we put each order together; at the taco bar, guests do the building. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.
What we offer in Grafham
- A menu agreed with you
- Catering across Surrey, including Grafham

Working with your venue
Organising a club, school or community event in Grafham? A truck or trailer serves a crowd quickly, with options for most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Send us allergy details in writing
- Choose at least one vegan filling
- Flag any guest with coeliac disease
Fillings are kept hot and tortillas warmed in batches.
Book the truck or trailer for evening food after a daytime taco bar, quoted with the rest.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
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.
Step by step
When service finishes, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. A December taco bar in Grafham will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so set the station up where the lighting is good. In late June, the light holds until around 9:20pm.
- Start with the essentials: the date, venue, headcount and diets.
- We plan the fillings and toppings with you and quote for them.
- We agree where the table goes and where our vehicle can unload.
- We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and guests help themselves.
- When service finishes, we clear the table and pack the vehicle.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site

Your questions about taco bar hire in Grafham
Could you serve in Cucknell's Wood?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
Do you come to events in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Is the food very hot?
It’s up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
How does a taco bar work?
A serving table is laid with warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and each guest builds their own. Our staff keep it hot and topped up.
How much does taco bar hire cost?
We quote for each taco bar, depending on guests, menu, venue and timings. For a price, use our quote form.
Is a taco bar good for vegans and gluten-free guests?
Fillings and toppings sit in separate dishes, which helps with mixed diets, though we cannot guarantee there are no traces of any allergen. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us first.
Can you do dairy-free food?
We can. We offer dairy-free options.
What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: 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.
