Taco bar hire in Holmbury St Mary, served fresh
The taco bar works for a wedding breakfast, a party or a working lunch. Guests build their plates quickly, so a crowd moves through steadily, and nobody waits long. It works well for marquee parties and evening receptions, with warm corn and flour tortillas, pickled onions and toppings and burrito bowls.
Somewhere as small as Holmbury St Mary, a garden, barn or hall can host a taco bar. If lanes or soft ground stop the truck getting close, the station can be set up nearer your guests, as long as we can unload within a short walk. You can book food, drinks or both, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Your questions about taco bar hire in Holmbury St Mary
How far is Holmbury St Mary from central London?
It is about 25 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Could you serve in Wotton and Abinger Commons?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Include children in your numbers.
Do you have gluten-free options?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
Can you keep it mild?
We can keep it mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
What does taco bar hire cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and where your event is. Contact us for a quote.
Who clears up?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Can the taco bar cater for special diets?
There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan choices, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests. Every dish has allergen information.
The process
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can spend time with your guests. In Holmbury St Mary, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Contact us with your 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.
How to prepare

With a little notice, most diets are easy. Our advice:
- Ensure guests have somewhere to sit
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
