For back-garden gatherings and anniversary parties, we’ll put together a menu of slow-cooked fillings kept hot, pickled onions and toppings and guacamole and more.
In a hamlet or village like Mapledurwell, a barn or marquee can shelter a taco bar from the weather. We set up the station and our team runs it; tell us about access and parking. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Your questions about taco bar hire in Mapledurwell
Can the taco bar go in a local hall rather than outside?
We can, as long as the venue agrees. The station needs room for a queue, and we need to park and unload close to the door.
Will you travel to a small place like Mapledurwell?
Yes, small places are no problem, given access. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
How spicy is the food?
It is up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
When do you arrive?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
We can. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. It’s worth planning a covered area for guests, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
What is a build-your-own taco bar?
Each guest builds tacos from the fillings, salsas and toppings laid out. Our staff look after the bar throughout.
Do you cover Mapledurwell?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Mapledurwell. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Let us know about anyone who is coeliac
- Ensure one filling is vegan
- Put guests with serious allergies in touch with us early
- Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
We get there early enough to unload, lay out the table and heat everything through.
Ask us whether a second station would help with big numbers.
What we need at the venue
We will be honest if a space won’t work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- A short, clear path for carrying the bar in
- A parking or loading spot near the serving area
- A sheltered spot if we are serving outside
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we offer
- Two to four fillings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Corn and flour tortillas
