Taco bar hire in Lightwater
FAQs for Lightwater
Could you serve our guests after a service at All Saints?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
How far is Lightwater from central London?
About 27 miles from central London, and we cover it.
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, so tell us your numbers.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
How spicy is the food?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, Surrey included. Find your area.

Taco bar hire in Lightwater, from our truck or trailer
We bring taco bars to events in and around Lightwater: from barns and marquees to gardens, halls and offices, wherever there’s room for the table. We serve burrito bowls, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and pickled onions and toppings, and it suits company parties and summer garden parties.
Around Lightwater, a taco bar can stand beside our truck on a drive or lawn. Where access is tight, the truck stays nearby and the station goes where your guests are. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so set-up goes smoothly.
Step by step
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can spend time with your guests. In Lightwater, 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.
- Start with the essentials: the date, venue, headcount and diets.
- We plan the fillings and toppings with you and quote for them.
- Together we fix the spot for the taco bar and a nearby place for our vehicle.
- We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and guests help themselves.
- Once guests have eaten, we take down the bar and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough

Warm tortillas
Soft corn and flour tortillas, kept warm. Corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.
Guacamole
No taco bar is complete without guacamole, so we keep it topped up.
How we price taco bar hire
These are the factors that matter most:
- How long we’re needed on site
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Guest numbers
- Serving staff
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- What power and water the site has
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you need. For a quote, tell us about it on our contact page.
Occasions we cater for in Lightwater
The bar can go where a vehicle can’t, such as a courtyard, a barn or a hall, with the venue’s agreement.
If you’re planning any of these, we can help:
- Engagement parties
- Birthday celebrations
- Family get-togethers
- Team socials
If you’re celebrating after a service at a church like All Saints, a hall close by could host a staffed taco bar, with the venue’s permission.
Questions to ask before you book
- Exactly what’s included in the price
- Where to see their hygiene rating
- Any travel, parking or access charges
- How many staff are serving, and for how long
Planning the serving area
We’ll be honest if a space will not work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- The venue’s agreement for the taco bar and our vehicle
- A spot next to the truck or trailer when both are booked
- A flat spot for the taco-bar station
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
On the menu in Lightwater

Other catering in Lightwater
Can I do a taco night myself?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Working with your venue
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.
Why choose taco bar hire in Lightwater?
Buffet trays can go cold and tired. We keep the fillings hot and refill the dishes through service. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for taco bar hire. A short lunch service for a team is a different job from a full wedding day. Contact us for a quote.
