How our taco bar hire works in North Holmwood
Mixed diets are simple at a taco bar, because every filling and topping sits in its own dish. There are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, plus allergen information for every dish. At team socials and barn and marquee parties, we can serve slow-cooked fillings kept hot, fresh salsas and warm corn and flour tortillas for your guests.
In and around North Holmwood, a taco bar works beside the truck or in a hall nearby. If the truck can’t reach the garden, we park as close as we can and set the station up where your guests are, as long as we can unload within a short walk. Every guest is catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included, with allergen information for everything we serve.

We’ll be honest if a space won’t work. The main points are:
- Power and water, which we confirm when you book
- Shelter from rain and sun for an outdoor bar
- Room for the bar alongside the vehicle, if booked together
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.

A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.

Step by step
When service finishes, we pack up and leave our area tidy. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. In North Holmwood, 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. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- Send us the date, venue and numbers.
- We plan the fillings, salsas and toppings with you.
- The venue confirms where the bar goes and where we park.
- Our staff set out the bar and guests build their own tacos.
- When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Choose a level, firm spot for the truck or trailer
- Plan a covered area for guests if rain is likely

Every taco starts with a warm tortilla. We keep a steady supply going through service.
Hot fillings
A few fillings give guests plenty of choice, with at least one vegan. You choose them with us.
Is taco bar hire right for your event?
Buffet trays can go cold and tired. Our fillings stay hot and the bowls are topped up as guests come back. A food truck can be a practical alternative to plated catering, because it needs no venue kitchen. Contact us for a quote to compare.

Your questions about taco bar hire in North Holmwood
Do you come to events in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St John the Evangelist?
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.
Can you do gluten-free food?
We can, using corn tortillas. Corn is naturally gluten-free, though some sauces and toppings can contain gluten, so we plan gluten-free dishes carefully and give allergen information.
How many guests can a taco bar serve?
That depends on your timings and the event. Most bookings fall around 50 to 400 guests, so tell us your numbers.
Do you stay to run the taco bar?
The taco bar is served from a table or station by our staff, so your hosts don’t need to. We pack it away afterwards.
How is the food prepared?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Fillings are slow-cooked beforehand and finished on site.
What if the weather’s bad?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and tell us if heavy rain could make the ground soft.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we will set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
