Long Ditton: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary?
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. Tell us where the reception will be.
Could the taco bar go somewhere in Long Ditton that the truck can’t reach?
Yes, with the venue’s agreement: our staff set up the station where your guests are. We still need to park and unload nearby, so tell us about loading bays, permits or a parking suspension.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Send us a picture of the access and the space, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
What does taco bar hire cost?
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
How many guests can you serve?
Truck and trailer service typically suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Can you serve in the rain?
Rain doesn’t generally stop service from the truck or trailer. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
What do you serve?
We agree a sample menu with each client. Fillings could include slow-cooked pork carnitas, chicken tinga, beef birria and vegan options such as spiced mushrooms or black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Taco bar hire for your event in Long Ditton
A taco bar puts the whole spread on one table: tortillas kept warm, fillings kept hot, and bowls of salsa, guacamole and toppings. Guests pick up a plate and build their own. Popular choices include guacamole, slow-cooked fillings kept hot and warm corn and flour tortillas, which works well for back-garden gatherings and family celebrations.
In Long Ditton, all a taco bar needs is room for the station and space for guests to queue. Let us know about the loading point and any stairs, lifts or narrow doorways, as London parking takes planning. Everything is prepared fresh for your event and served from our truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

What affects the price in Long Ditton
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- How many guests we are serving
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- What’s on the menu
- How long we are needed on site
Larger events can cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground

Why choose taco bar hire in Long Ditton?
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen, waiting staff and fixed courses.

Where the truck can go in Long Ditton
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- A clear area in front of the station
- A spot next to the truck or trailer when both are booked
- A flat spot for the taco-bar station
In Long Ditton, as everywhere in Greater London, the ULEZ applies and kerb space is limited. Where will the truck or trailer stop? A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Planning for every diet
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Check where our vehicle can unload
- Ensure one filling is vegan
A covered spot keeps the bar and guests dry if it rains, so plan somewhere sheltered if you can.
Extra salsas, from mild to hot, let guests choose their own heat.

Guacamole goes quickly on a taco bar.
Should I do it myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
