About our taco bar hire in Headley
We bring taco bars to events in and around Headley: marquees, barns, gardens, halls and workplaces, wherever there’s room for the table. It works well for retirement parties and barn and marquee parties, with fresh salsas, a build-your-own taco bar and guacamole.
In a small place like Headley, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If the truck cannot get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, though we still need to unload within a short walk. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Questions from Headley
Do you cater in villages like Headley?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Let us know about access and parking for the truck or trailer.
Which station is closest to Headley?
Tadworth station, about 1.9 miles east of the centre.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
How spicy is the food?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
Is a taco bar suitable for a big group?
It depends on the event and the timings. As a guide, our bookings usually fall around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.
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 do dairy-free food?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
That is confirmed with each quote. Let us know what the venue supplies and we’ll talk it through.
Planners, venues and businesses
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Taco bar hire or something else?
The difference between a taco bar and truck service is who builds the taco. At the hatch, we make each order; at the taco bar, guests do the building. Pricing depends on the event. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Your quote sets it all out.

Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:

- Somewhere close by for our vehicle to park and unload
- Space for a serving table on level ground

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
