What taco bar hire costs
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- What the venue already provides
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
- Travel, parking and access
- Your choice of food and drinks
A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Contact us for a quote to compare.

About our taco bar hire in Mayes Green
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. We serve a build-your-own taco bar, warm corn and flour tortillas and pickled onions and toppings, and it suits retirement parties and family get-togethers.
For a rural spot like Mayes Green, 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 confirm power and water arrangements before the day. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.
How it works
On the day, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. We’re ready to serve at the agreed time, so everything runs to your schedule. Around midsummer it stays light in Mayes Green 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.
- Begin with the date and headcount.
- We plan fillings and toppings around your guests’ diets.
- We fix timings with you and the venue.
- Service starts when your running order says.
- Once service is over, we pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Ask the venue about power and water
How to get a price
It is easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll send you a clear quote.

Planning the serving area
Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Space for a line of guests at the bar
- Permission from the venue for us to set up
- Space for a serving table on level ground
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
What we offer
- Vegan fillings
- Tortilla chips
- Corn and flour tortillas
- Pickled onions and toppings
- Salsas and guacamole
- Two to four fillings
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Ensure guests have somewhere to sit
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Ask guests about diets and allergies on the RSVP
- Let us know about anyone who is coeliac
We warm tortillas in batches and keep the fillings hot, so the bar stays fresh from the first plate to the last.
Ask us whether a second station would help with big numbers, quoted for your event.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. 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.
Mayes Green: venues, access and set-up
Mayes Green is about 6 miles north-west of Horsham, in Surrey. From the centre of Mayes Green to the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. We cover all 395 towns and villages across Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Mayes Green to Crawley (about 9 miles away).
Before you plan a taco bar in Wallis Wood, find out who manages it, as catering and unloading there both need their agreement. When the service is at a church such as Church of St John the Baptist, the taco bar would be set up at the reception venue rather than the church. With the Surrey Hills National Landscape about 3 miles away at most, a countryside taco bar is an option from Mayes Green. Rural venues may limit vehicles, so ask where we can park and unload.

Mayes Green: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Mayes Green?
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.
Which station is closest to Mayes Green?
Guests can use Ockley station, about 2.9 miles east of Mayes Green.
Can you plan for allergies?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Do you need electricity?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we’ll park.
Who clears up?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Do you cook on site?
Food is cooked to order in our food truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, using corn tortillas. Tell us about any coeliac guests before the event so we can talk through how their food is prepared. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
