DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles allergen information for you.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
How our taco bar hire works in Nutfield
We run the taco bar ourselves: keeping the fillings hot, warming tortillas and topping up the bowls. Your hosts can stay with their guests. It works well for barn parties and summer garden parties, with fresh salsas, guacamole and warm corn and flour tortillas.
Near Nutfield, a marquee or barn makes a good home for a taco bar. We set up the station and our team runs it. You can book food, drinks or both, so the food and drinks can come from one caterer.

A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Include a dietary question on your invitations
- Ensure guests have somewhere to sit

Nutfield: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Nutfield?
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.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Are plates and napkins included?
We confirm that with your quote. Tell us whether your venue has crockery or you’d prefer disposables and we’ll talk it through.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options.
What do you need at the venue?
Tell us about the venue and the spot you have in mind, and we will check it works. We also need the venue’s permission.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s agreement. Power and water arrangements are confirmed with each booking.
How much is a taco bar?
Every taco bar is quoted for individually, based on numbers, fillings, the venue and timings. For a price, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan fillings, such as spiced mushrooms or black beans, can be part of the menu.
Step by step
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. When service opens, guests come up to the hatch or serving table. In Nutfield, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an outdoor taco bar in summer is typically served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so guests will need light to see the fillings and toppings.
- 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.
- We clear our station when service ends.
How to prepare
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Tell us when you want service to start
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
