Your questions about taco bar hire in Horley
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
What’s the nearest station to Horley for guests?
Guests can use Horley station, about 0.8 miles south-east of Horley.
What’s on the menu?
Mexican street food and drinks: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. A drinks bar is available too.
How much is a taco bar?
There is no price list, because no two events are the same. Share your plans and you’ll get a quote. Our guide to Mexican catering costs may help.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Can guests build their own tacos?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas, guacamole and toppings.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding for the truck or trailer, and a route in it can fit through, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. We’ll check the licensing for alcohol with you.
How our taco bar hire works in Horley
With a taco bar, everything is laid out in one place: tortillas kept warm, fillings kept hot, and bowls of salsa, guacamole and toppings. Each guest takes a plate and fills it their way. On the menu are fresh salsas, burrito bowls and warm corn and flour tortillas, and it is a good fit for engagement parties and evening receptions.
Not every garden in Horley can be reached by a vehicle, so we can park nearby, with permission, and set the taco bar up in the garden. Tell us how far it is from the parking spot to the garden. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
Catering for every guest
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Confirm a loading spot close to the bar
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first
- Flag any guest with coeliac disease
- Ensure guests have somewhere to sit
Our staff stand behind the bar to top up dishes and help guests about fillings and allergens.
Ask us about plates, napkins and cutlery and we will set out the options in your quote.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Comparing your options
Compared with a hog roast or carvery, a taco bar caters for vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free guests from one table. 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.
Why book with us
- A clear quote

Around midsummer it stays light in Horley until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer taco bar outside normally runs in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, plan good lighting over the station.
- Start with your date, venue and guest numbers.
- Together we choose what goes on the bar.
- The venue confirms where the bar goes and where we park.
- Our staff set out the bar and guests build their own tacos.
- We clear the bar away after service.
