Taco bar hire in Hale
About our taco bar hire in Hale
Add burrito bowls, loaded nachos or quesadillas if you’d like more choice. Margaritas and aguas frescas from our drinks bar can be added. We serve warm corn and flour tortillas, burrito bowls and a build-your-own taco bar, which works well for team lunches and wedding day food.
Near Hale, a taco bar next to the truck in a field or garden works well. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we’ll confirm power and water with you. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Organising for someone else?
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Questions from Hale
Do you come out to small places like Hale?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Can you cater a reception after a service at The Church of St John the Evangelist?
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.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Is a taco bar suitable for a big group?
It depends on the event and the timings. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests.
Is a taco bar good for vegans and gluten-free guests?
We plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
Is the food very hot?
It’s up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
How big an event can you cater?
It depends on the menu and how long service runs, but our truck and trailer service usually suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.
What access do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Dietary needs and planning tips
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Fit the bar into your running order
- Confirm any allergies to us by email
- Set out seating near the bar
- Flag any guest with coeliac disease
Each dish is labelled, and allergen information is kept at the bar.
Nachos to share can keep guests going before the bar opens.
The menu, item by item
Salsas
Fresh salsas, from a mild tomato salsa to something hotter.
Vegan fillings
Spiced mushroom, or black bean and sweet potato.
How the day works
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. We can serve in the rain, but guests will need somewhere covered. Around midsummer it stays light in Hale until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Start with the essentials: the date, venue, headcount and diets.
- We suggest fillings, salsas and toppings for the bar and send a quote.
- Together we fix the spot for the taco bar and a nearby place for our vehicle.
- Our staff set up the station, keep the fillings hot and top up the bar through service.
- Once guests have eaten, we take down the bar and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

A build-your-own taco bar in Hale
Hale is about 1 mile north of Farnham, in Surrey. Wherever your event is in the GU9 area, we can serve your guests, as long as there is access. Hale is one of 395 places in Surrey we cover. We cater right across the region, from Hale to Guildford (9 miles away).
When the service is at a church such as The Church of St John the Evangelist, the taco bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. Close to Hale are historic houses such as Farnham Castle (1.1 miles south-west). Estates and listed houses set their own rules for caterers, so check where a taco bar station and our vehicle would be permitted before booking.
Wherever your event is in GU9, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Fairview Gardens, Farnborough Road and White Cottage Close or the roads around them.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
How it compares

When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we will set out what’s included.
