Taco bar hire in Merrow
How our taco bar hire works in Merrow
Truck and trailer bookings typically suit around 50 to 400 guests, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers and we’ll plan the taco bar around them. It works well for evening wedding receptions and wedding breakfasts, with pickled onions and toppings, fresh salsas and warm corn and flour tortillas.
In and around Merrow, a taco bar works beside the truck or in a hall nearby. 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.
What happens on the day
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. A December taco bar in Merrow will be in the dark from about 3:55pm, so set the station up where the lighting is good. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Contact us with your date and headcount.
- We agree a menu that covers every diet.
- Nearer the date, we confirm timings and the serving spot.
- Service starts when your running order says.
- Once service is over, we pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

Your questions about taco bar hire in Merrow
How far is Merrow from central London?
About 26 miles from central London.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Riverside Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Check with them, and we will provide what they ask for from us.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
How big an event can you cater?
Truck and trailer service usually 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 in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Tell us about the drive, gates and any slopes, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Are plates and napkins included?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we do. The drinks bar can be added to food or booked on its own. We will check the licensing for alcohol with you.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
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.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Flag any guest with coeliac disease
- Have anyone with a severe allergy speak to us first
- Make sure guests have somewhere to sit
- Send us allergy details in writing
After the last plate, we take the bar down and leave the spot tidy.
Burrito bowls sit well on the bar for anyone avoiding tortillas.
