How we price taco bar hire
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The menu you choose
- Parking and the route in
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Staff for serving and the bar
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

How our taco bar hire works in Great Bookham
The toppings are where guests get creative: lime wedges, coriander, pickled onions, cheese and crema, agreed with you in advance. We serve a build-your-own taco bar, pickled onions and toppings and slow-cooked fillings kept hot, and it suits engagement and anniversary parties and company parties.
Around Great Bookham, a taco bar can stand beside our truck on a drive or lawn. If the truck cannot reach the garden, we park as close as we can and set the station up where your guests are. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Planning the serving area
Access is the first thing to check for a truck or trailer. We need:
- Room for the bar alongside the vehicle, if booked together
- Power and water, which we confirm when you book
- The venue’s agreement for the taco bar and our vehicle
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.

Should I do it myself?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
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.
