Our caterer checklist

Taco bar hire for your event in Lickfold

We can serve the taco bar next to the truck or trailer, or as a separate station. If the truck can’t get to the spot, we park close by, unload and carry the bar in, as long as the venue agrees. We serve guacamole, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and warm corn and flour tortillas, which works well for milestone birthdays and office lunches.

For a rural spot like Lickfold, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Tell us about gates, ground and the distance from the lane, and we will confirm power and water with you. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

About the menu

Hot fillings

A few fillings give guests plenty of choice, including a vegan one. We agree them with you.

Guacamole

Guacamole made fresh, with lime and coriander.

Should I do it myself?

You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.

Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.

What affects the price in Lickfold

The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:

  • Whether you add a drinks bar or food
  • How many staff you need
  • Distance and access to the venue
  • Timings and hours

Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.

What we need to know

You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:

  • Your date and when you want service to start
  • Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
  • Roughly how many adults and children
  • A picture of where we’d park

The quickest way to a quote is to use our quote form. Tell us about your event in Lickfold, and we will put together a menu and price.

Dietary needs and planning tips

Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included. To get it right:

  • Let us know about anyone who is coeliac
  • Plan the taco bar around speeches and timings
  • Put guests with serious allergies in touch with us early
  • Ensure one filling is vegan

Each dish is labelled, and allergen information is kept at the bar.

Our drinks bar can sit alongside the taco bar with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.

Organising for someone else?

For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so everyone is served promptly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.

For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

What we need at the venue

We’ll agree the spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:

  • A clear area in front of the station
  • A parking or loading spot near the serving area
  • Cover overhead if the bar is outdoors

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before booking.

Menu ideas

  • Corn and flour tortillas
  • Tortilla chips
  • Vegan fillings
  • Two to four fillings
  • Pickled onions and toppings
  • Salsas and guacamole

The process

The truck or trailer tends to draw a crowd, so we’ll help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain doesn’t normally stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. From late May to late September, sunset in Lickfold moves from about 8:50pm to 7:05pm. If the taco bar is outdoors and runs later, tell us what lighting the venue has.

  1. Start with the essentials: the date, venue, headcount and diets.
  2. We plan the fillings and toppings with you and quote for them.
  3. Together we fix the spot for the taco bar and a nearby place for our vehicle.
  4. On the day our staff lay out the bar and keep it stocked while guests build their tacos.
  5. When service finishes, we clear the table and pack the vehicle.

Preparing for the day

  • Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
  • Give us a contact for the day
  • Tell us about narrow gates or low branches

FAQs for Lickfold

Which station should guests use for Lickfold?

The closest is Haslemere station, roughly 4.7 miles away.

Do you cater in villages like Lickfold?

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.

Do you do parties at home?

That depends on access. If the truck or trailer can’t reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.

Can you keep it mild?

It is up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.

Do you have dairy-free options?

Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will plan the menu around them.

How far ahead should we book?

Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.

How much space do you need?

A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.

What does taco bar hire cost?

It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Contact us for a quote.
